[quote=smfinley]I don't race but have sailed with my wife a lot. She does not like to skipper, and I don't mind her being rail meat. I would have a similar issue, where she would chicken out to early when the wind picked up. It completely will depend on the wife, but mine would not be interested in racing. She enjoys the social and relaxation aspect of it more then being competitive. Like I said I don't race, but like most sailors get a little competitive when I see another boat on the water. :-D
To me it sounds like she needs to get more comfortable with the boat and the limits of her and the boat. When I was young I flipped my H16 a lot, often for fun and as something to do. Now I have a H18 and rarely flip it, but know the limits and what it feels like when you approach them.[/quote]
