Hmmm. Think Mary took that one the wrong way. Of course we`re kidding ! My daughter isn`t exactly old enough to know what a jib-sheet is, but she`s quite happy to pull on it anyway, must be instinct .
And as for her mom, who is also my crew, and also my future-ex-wife (One of my favourite jokes, Mary ), she`s gotta be the best crew I`ve sailed with, even if she does get sheets wrapped round her ankles often (actually she`s perfected it !) Male crew are just too damn clumsy on a boat as small as the Mozzie.
Lighten up, Mary, none of us are putting female crew down - we`re just glad many of them don`t become skippers, for fear of getting whipped by them - it happens a lot when you allow your crew to skipper, they generally tend to beat you .
