How to balance Sailing + Relationship

   We've a number of examples from real life but most important - join a sailing club with a good social life and you'll both get involved however much or little you sail.
Examples:
Most couples sail together. Try not to argue but if thats a problem both sail but with differrent people eg another arguing couple. If you have to argue sail to the far end of the lake and argue out of earshot!
Sail singly and partner does shore based activities or race box or rescue boat but still involved in club. Dog walking and fishing are also options here.
One friend sailed regularly and his wife was never seen until she decided to take up sailing, joined a club beginners course and now races his laser so regularly that hubby needs to buy himself another one!
Sail singly and let the partner get on with their own hobby.
Lose the partner and come to the club as a divorced person. Sail regularly with another and form a relationship from the sailing.
Sail singly or together, meet someone new and form a new relationship - given today's divorce rates this is quite common in clubs.
Whatever you do - enjoy it!
