Yeah but there are reasons why some girls won't sail. As you said, sailorgirl, the girlie girls dont want to see their lovely silky hair ruined. There IS an issue with the weight. I'd love to be able to sail a fast trapeze boat (a Contender, perhaps Finally, the nudge nudge wink wink attitude of some boys can put off girls. Take a look at this thread! I know you guys are an raging ocean of uncontrolled hormones, but get a grip! There's more to a girl than a pair of ............ legs! (Yeah yeah and the rest...) Sailing still remains a male-dominated sport and girls have to be quite driven to be accepted, whether you agree or not! At my grand old age, I get treated more equally. I'm no chat-up material any longer!

Lol yeh you do have to not care what peole think about you to be able to sail regurlaly. Every one at school knows i sail and I get a bit if flack because of that sometimes, but mostly people seem suportive. some guys do need to get hosed down with cold water tho.

That's teenagers for you. Not specific to sailing. I used to teach in an all-boys school and their idea of a good laugh was.... pretty basic |

It was just a bit of banter. Rigging boats should not be a reason not to sail, most of the skiff designs require comparitively little physical effort to sail, especially compared to the speeds they attain. Sail in a mixed crew, get 'your' guy to do all the hard work if you like, and you won't look like an idiot (just say you have him well trained
). Besides, if girls were less illusive boys would not seem so desperate (and before you think that is some cheesey line I'm off the market).

) but I'm just 9st and I would struggle to right the boat after a capsize. It's a shame, though, cos it's fast!
. There must have been someone, somewhere, who loved them?!?! |
