That's a completely different situation, and in fact, if they had to rely on
strength, and not a combination of skill, timing, and planning ahead, they
wouldn't do very well. Strength is the least important factor.

You're not thinking about this very clearly. Start thinking. Typically women
make better sailors, for one reason because they DON'T try to muscle things.

That's about the silliest thing you've said so far...
If it's true how come they don't *plan ahead* instead of having big
strong crewmen grind winches on racing yachts?
