Y'know Bill,
It's not going to be long befor all your young crew will know how to sail.
But if you fell in, now by golly, what would you like to happen on the boat?
Maybe show them how to depower the sailboat
so at least you might swim back to it? Then what - but that's something else.
Coming about or tacking maybe not, but how about jibing? Could they untangle the lifering?
Something that doesn't require strength, but will alter the boat's speed or direction. Considering there could be novice guests aboard instead of the kidds what would you tell them to do? Have to be something simple. And natural.
I think this is a really important question!
Not talking about a fullfledged man overboard drill.
