Docking Situation Question #3
You're joking. Sailing isn't about strength. It's about planning ahead.

But, I'm not talking about really big boats. I'd say anything up to 25 feet would work that way. A strong man could probably pull a 30 foot boat out in say 10-15 miles per hour wind. Cheers, Ellen |

Docking Situation Question #3
That's a completely different situation, and in fact, if they had to rely on
strength, and not a combination of skill, timing, and planning ahead, they wouldn't do very well. Strength is the least important factor. You're not thinking about this very clearly. Start thinking. Typically women make better sailors, for one reason because they DON'T try to muscle things. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Ellen MacArthur" wrote in message reenews.net... "Capt.
