Thanks for the feedback Richard, much appreciated
I had the same problem with girlfriends I tried to introduce to sailing,
the heeling totally freaked them out.
When they understand the pendulum effect of the keel, I think most of
that fear goes away.
The current girlfriend thinks heeling is a blast and keeps wanting to
broach, which has me white knuckled! Not sure there's a lesson for
that!
May well create a lesson on heeling/heavy weather/broaching. I think
that is definitely lacking in the standard keelboat 101 certification
courses.
Thanks again
Ryan
