I'm with you, Jennifer. If I am going to sail my own boat, alone, I do not want to have to ask anybody else for help, whether in righting the boat, raising the mast, moving it around on the beach, putting it on the trailer, etc.

The good thing about being a woman is that, #1, we CAN get away with asking for help, and #2, since we don't want to ask for help, we figure out alternative ways of doing things, and/or, #3, we get a boat that fits our physical abilities.

Men do none of those things. Instead, they end up with back problems.
