If I see someone really watch me as I sail I offer a ride. I try to take at least 6 newbies out a season. So far this year I have lead to 4 people getting boat, not including grand daughter (Mystere 4.3). I started her at 7, she is 12 now, with 2 years trap time and now learn stick and spinnaker. We must do everything we can to grow the sport, as it will NEVER be like the early 80's with I started.
