[quote=robpatt]'cuz you get mo skillz! :-) practice makes... you better.
in a casual afternoon cruise sailing... how many tacks or gybes do you do? just a handful and then at a leisurely pace when you feel like it...
how about in an afternoon of 4 races... probably 16 or more, executed as timely and precisely as possible.
you have to get your boat from point "A" to point "B", so you become a better driver.
then come the rules of the road...
then tactics...
then subtleties like the gurus who read the wind, see the puffs, play the current...and get all 'zen on the water. 8-)
as your ability goes up, so does your confidence, and your comfort in different conditions, even with new folks on the boat.
