My friends daughter was one of the ones in the boat. She was upset because two of the kids didn't have on the required wet suit. I think the coach will be in some hot water for this one!
because of what?julz20684 said:The only time I was on a sailboat it was running with the motor and no sails. I'll admit I'm somewhat apprehensive about sailboats because of this.

julz20684 said:Because of them going over like that in a huge gust of wind. I love motor boats, jet skis, water skiiing, motorcycles, but something about sailboats wigs me out. :shrug: I'm sure it's because of my lack of experience of being on one.
Midnightrider said:the only people who are surprised they went over are the people who have no idea. It would be like not expecting to get wet on a jet ski....
and your afraid of sailboats, but you like riding on a motorcycle? How many sailing related deaths do you read about in the paper?
julz20684 said:Like I said, it's because of my inexperience.
