Well, my post wasn't intending to insinuate anything about your skills,
just running thru a mental checklist of the things I've tried when
confronted with a boat that clearly wanted it's tummy rubbed.

On a side note, when I was with the N.C. State sailing club, which has (or
had at the time) a fleet of Coronado 15s, a number of experienced sailors
came into the club and said these boats were difficult (at least one
declared "impossible!!") to right.


.... I frequently sail alone in bad conditions.


More fun that way!



Hypothermia is a big problem, certainly not one to be taken lightly.


I spent 45 minutes in the water in February from one episode, no wetsuit
and tangled in the lines.

Yowzah! That sounds like it could have been a ticket to that big sailing
club in the sky...

... I can take cold immersion pretty well because of muscle mass but
after that one I threw up from the adrenaline. The last knock down I had
resulted in MOB and another knockdown in trying to get the guy. Chinook
winds and tornadoes get you everytime. At least I can draw spectators
when sailing.


Sounds like you should be on the sailing channel!


More like comedy central.
