I sail a 2 person boat singlehanded 90% of the time, but when I have crew I try to be understanding and nice because it is much tougher to crew than to skipper in my opinion.
But when you have 2 skippers on the boat, there's going to be trouble. I can speak only for myself, but its hard to keep quiet when you have another opinion on strategy etc.
After talking with a friend of mine about his similar problem, I see that this may not be isolated to me, but I have'nt seen any fighting on the Cup boats, and I never hear about the pros fighting it out, so is it just isolated to us amateurs?
I rode back from a regatta with my skipper one time and we barely spoke. I should have kept my mouth shut I guess, but man it is hard when you are use to skippering.
Anyone else had this problem?
