My wife says it's a subconscious plan to minimize the risk
of mutiny.

I have mutinied many times when it has just been Mr Sails and myself sailing along....Mutiny is the chicken soup of
sailing....husband's need one every once in a while to remember that their place is alongside, not directing from aloft....
