a nice little ditty and easy to remember but probably pretty dangerous to boat and solo sailor

fact is a newbie sailing solo on most 16,17,18 foot cats is likely to tip the boat over in winds not strong enough to get the boat back up

then hopefully they'll get assistance
if not the boat could end up smashed against the shore if close in or sailor dying of hypothermia if far out

has happened before and will continue to happen
