    [quote=david;244171]Believe it or not, the purpose of sail training is not to produce people who can expertly sail through storm force winds, people who can differentiate between a brig and a barque, or people who can climb the yards with their hands tied behind their back.

    It's actually about a unique form of life training.

    I agree with you, David, 100%

    until Ronan Keating et al got their hands on it
    I saw her play once, well worth the money.

    One of the main ideas of sail training is the necessary team work involved.
