It is this mentality that scares people away from sailing. The sailing community is a very small community. If you ruin your reputation, don't think everyone doesn't know. Now people think he is a jerk.
Every sailor is needed to make a race.
If poeple, like rebecca, perhaps, aren't as good as you, thats all right. She does it to have fun. And i'd be willing to bet some point along the line you all did it for fun too. We can't be scaring sailors away, rather, why don't we use that enrgy to gain sailors. If it wasn't for sailors not as good as you, you wouldn't win.
