Was anybody inspired to try sailing?


Did the series inspire you to have a go at sailing?

I was already a keen dinghy sailor, but was encouraged by Howards Way to have a go at cruising (and found it nice for holidays, if a quite different sport).

I was in to sailing before this dribble came on the screen.
If any thing it turned my hobby in to a bad joke.
All this crapfest did was to increases the number of Snotty Yachties down at the sailing club who just use the bar to down pinkers.
Most of whom never went sailing.
Just turning up to Yacht club events and the Commodore's ball!

i had alreayd been introduced to the joy of dinghy sailing by my husband. many years later, we did get a yacht because he ceveloped arthritis and couldn't manage the dinghy any more, but I never found it as exciting as dinghy sailing.
