There is nothing condescending about it, if done
in private. Most of the time it is the crew that are
talking about how they did. How can that be
condescending?

Look Bart... if it's a cruising crew my only question is did they have fun
and if new, did they learn anything of value. If it's a racing crew it's
either "Lads we sucked backwash out there and we'll have to speed things up
on the sail change" etc. I never isolate a crew member and never talk down
to my crew. Respect nutures respect.

BTW, most of these are training situations with
students.

Well if it's formal training... that's a different matter Bart. A review is
part of the curriculum.
