Default Teaching a loved one to sail

Oh My,

Teaching in ASA? I really don't think so. Just to many unknowns.

You can't teach "Higher Math" to some one who doesn't understand
division.

Teaching sail trim in a narrow channel, with a opposing tide, while
tacking frequently isn't going to be very successful. If it is a
failure; it isn't the students failure. The fault is truly the
instructors.

That grounding was the Skipper Fault.

Why would a Skipper, who wouldn't take time to check his engine in open
water, even expect a crew to be content with waiting for a tide change?

Worst of all! Why would that Skipper lay the Blame on a untrained crew
member?
