Default Teaching a loved one to sail

Yep, even the ones who: don't want to sail, hate sailing, tell sailing to F
off, hate sailors, sailing gear, wind, water, and surf.

Doug has it right.
The classic vocational lesson plan:
1. gives the theory
2. enabling skills are taught (how to work a winch is

taught as an enabler
to teaching how to sail a boat)
3. demonstrates the skill
4. allows for guided instruction (teacher intervenes as

needed)
5. student practices
6. student is assessed
7. prepare to defend yourself against politicians who say

everyone must sail
proficiently by 2010.
