I think every1 talks to their boat in some way or another, or refers to it as if it was a person, e.g."I think she'd be happier with more kicker" or something like that! It must just be some sort of hidden insanity that sailing brings out in ppl!

i can´t 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 didn´t even put the rig
tension off or covered her.
but talking to your boat is only healthy! imean i´m talking to mine, but mostly when there is no one near me cos it really looks a bit insane! if the boat isn´t happy nothing would work! |

the breaking case isn´t 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
can´t do anything wrong.
but if she doesn´t like them anymore is a bit more difficult. she can only be fed up with you wether you´re boring or you do something wrong. in case you´re 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) |
