If the women who sail are all tomboys and "butchie," and the guys are all geeks and nerds, sounds like a pretty level playing field.

So now we know that to recruit more sailors, we have to advertise to NOW and to engineering schools.

By the way, I am both a tomboy (climb trees) and a geek (socially inept). This means that I love to skipper, but only if I am the only one on the boat.
