Like lots of people, we are what I would call “Leisure Sailors”. We have been sailing a couple of years on a relatively small sailboat on “safe-ish” waters. In ours case, we have a O’Day 28 Tartan 41 on Lake Champlain.
We go sailing as much as we can, or to be more accurate, the Captain (Dad), drags his boys for weekend sailing with varying amounts of enthusiasm displayed by the crew.
Frequently, said crew are bribed with various offers such as uninterrupted sunbathing, use of iPad, a movie to watch, copious chocolate or soda (depending on crew member).
