Any Dinghy Sailors Out There?
Perhaps you should have taken lessons?

IMHO I think that "sensitivity" hits the nail right on the head. I did my first dinghy sailing two years ago. In two weeks I learned more about the wind than in the previous 5 years of sailing a reasonably fast yacht. I became very "sensitive" to the visible signs of an approaching gust. I also became "sensitive" to the fact that I had to bear off in sudden gusts, instead of heading up. Regards Donal -- |
