Yeah, it is still winter and I need to burn more time.
I have seen other posts on here about people who sail with their significant other, I was just wondering who out there does sail with their g/f,wife,husband,boyfriend.

I had to make sure that was PC, since I know there are some woman sailors on here.

My g/f sails with me on a regular basis and that is actually how I got her interested in me. We had met in Organic Chem but she really got interested when she saw me sailing. That was about a year ago and things are going smoothly, I know that many of you out there have much longer standing relationships going but, hey for a college student a year together is doing well.
She loves to sail and helps me work on my boats all the time. When I asked her what she wanted for Christmas she said a wetsuite so she could sail early next year with me, I think I have a winner!!

Yeah I met my fiancee while sailing, although we hardly sail together anymore... we don't really have time.

You know she's a keeper when the first time you go sailing, you flip the boat 25 feet off the dock and she's swimming down the channel to rescue your flops.

Beware the first pitchpole. And let her drive, dear god just let her drive.

Well, I race AGAINST my ol' man...

and if I ain't mistaken, Sue Korz, one of my heroines, races against her ol' man...

and on my big boat, HE'S the deck squirrel, not I. You might wanna retract the 'deckhand' remark.

Been sailing with my wife ever since we met. We've both sailed all our lives, but she's one-up on me in that she's owned/sailed a cat and I haven't...yet. We met on a blind date, and she was hooked after proudly proclaiming she did not drink hard alcohol and only liked beer, to which I replied that that was nice and that I made beer.

Heard a good spouse story the other day during an interview with an author...he got a bad review one time and when the book was returned by the reviewer, his wife took it out back and shot it with a .38. His comment was "that's the kind of wife you want".

Sounds like you may have a winner there...good luck, be kind to each other, and if it's meant to be it will.

Cute! But I've got sailing gloves older than she! Good luck. I snagged my wife by taking her sailing upteen years ago. She quit racing with me tho... something about wanting to stay married!!! Of course I let her drive the Stiletto!

Sailed with my wife once. Distance race as her debut, where we ran into some heavy winds.. Never again on the Tornado!

Now, my first mate is.. well, look at the attachment..

Ah love..There is just nothing like getting a new cat...er I mean girlfriend.

I started racing with my wife a few years ago when we were dating in university. She was completely new to sailing. I new she was a keeper when we had our first high speed pitch pole bearing off to the offset mark. We got the boat up right away. She had a grin from ear to ear, wanting to get back into the race, AND she saved my sunglasses from the drink!
