[quote=sailinagin][quote=tparrish]BE careful when helping someone aboard your boat with long hair. [/quote]
VERY TRUE tparrish! I took two ladies sailing during a family beach trip. One of them had medium hair and as we were launching through the surf into an almost straight on breeze I had to move the jib to the other side. I needed their weight forward as we punched through the waves so she was on the front beam and leaning forward. Well, as my jib blocks moved past the mast to her side of the boat her hair got caught in the blocks!! :-O
So now I was battling an oncoming breeze, waves, and a yelling lady whose hair was on fire! And I could not move my jib!
We had a break in the wave sets, got the boat spun around and surfed in. Took a few minutes to get her hair out of the jib blocks but every lady from that point forward (still brave enough to sail with me) wore a hat. That's now a rule on my boat. Ladies must wear a hat.
Oh, and Tami your are right "Whatever happens on the boat is the skippers fault". I just did not see that one coming.[/quote]
