Interesting thread this one.
My oldest son loves sailing but my youngest son (20) can't stand the
heeling.
My wife of 1+ years has taken to it just fine and has been my helmslady for
fall racing going on 3 years now.
When I am taking novice guests out, it has sometimes helped to put in a reef

Hiring a coach or taking a course won't change the fact that she doesn't like
that sailboats lean when powered

Don't just send your lady to sailing lessons. Send her to a week long
ladies only sailing class. It's a LOT different than taking lessons with a
coed group. She will not just get sailing lessons, she will get emotional
support, counselling, share experiences with other women, etc. Chances are

The only other suggestion is to make something on the boat “hers”, something
she will ultimately know better than you. In my wife’s case, its handling

Racing did not help, she clammed-up even worse for fear that she'd screw

I've been lucky. My first admiral was gung-ho for almost anything thrilling,
so sailing on the windows was not a problem. We used to take our Coronado 15

David,
Well said. I am learning late in life
I have been trying to get my wife to take a competent crew course with the
same instructor I had. She is reluctant to take the helm but will handle
sheets. She does help with docking when she is aboard too. A couple of
weeks ago we had a good blow for us with winds steady around 18kts and

Maybe you're luckier than you think.
One of the first times Deborah and I sailed together I was down at the
navstation figuring out "nav" stuff. Deborah was steering and, in a calm,
gentle voice from the helm, asked "should the toe rail be under water?" I
shoulda known I was in trouble right the
Ditto all the other comments. For my wife, it was lessons with a captain to
learn docking skills (she almost always docks now), working the main during
races, and most importantly, a "friend" who made fun of her one day. It wasn't
so funny at the time but certainly motivated her.

Great advice Joel. I would add that the lessons ideally should be in a smaller,
but stable boat. Lessons and time out on our fleet of Ideal 18 (18ft
keelboats) transformed my Admiral.

How comfortable is she sailing the boat? Having sailed with a number of
girlfriends, I found the more comfortable they were at the helm, the less
concerned they were with heeling, gusts etc. Have you tried giving her the

Well said. I am learning late in life that many wives don't appreciate when a
sailboat heels or as mine says, ". . . don't like when it leans".
And what I find challenging and fun about sailing like short tacking through a
