... courage is very
important trait for an "outstanding skipper".


I would never want to go sailing with an outstandingly brave skipper. In
fact, a skipper who makes declarations that he's not afraid, or that
the crew should not be afraid, etc etc, is exactly the kind of macho
butt head who is dangerous on the water. The kind of skipper who is
intent on proving how brave he is, and (just for example) would refuse
to 'run away' from a Cat 5 hurricane.

JL hit the nail on the head.
