man that would be really stupid! but also after that you can celebrate your reunion. but there you have to be very careful! tell her immediatley that you sailed that crap boat and you really regret it, cos that boat isnīt nearly as beautiful as her and sheīs the only one in your life. best boat and friend. and another good thing would be to promise her that youīll never ever set foot on another boat! itīll take maybe a week till she forgives you, but then you have your reunion!n just be patient and try not to make new mistakes!

the breaking case isnīt too hard to manage! if something breaks you should treat her with love and give her some rest off shore with view to the sea/lake. after some mins resting give her a sensitive maintenance. no hard movements or tools falling on her body. then u canīt do anything wrong.
but if she doesnīt like them anymore is a bit more difficult. she can only be fed up with you wether youīre boring or you do something wrong. in case youīre boring you should start sailin in heavy winds and do some spectacular capsizes. if you do something wrong, go to the next trainer and get some help (in special cases it could also be a mate)

i canīt remember where i heard that and who it was about, but there was someone who always talked to his boat and stroked her if she made good results and he cared about the boat and covered it nicely, but oh my god if there was a bad result on that day he didnīt even put the rig tension off or covered her.
but talking to your boat is only healthy! imean iīm talking to mine, but mostly when there is no one near me cos it really looks a bit insane! if the boat isnīt happy nothing would work!
