Why are pigs rotten helms?

Re: Like most sailors then

Yes! I'm constantly surprised at relatively experienced sailors who sail to the ST60 dial rather than wathing the luff, tell tales, wind indicator and general feel of the boat .. drives me potty cos I itch to take over the helm and have to sit on my hands and shut up!
 
Re: Like most sailors then

The trotters clatter on the deck all the time. Why won't they stand still?

And all that squealing. Just enjoy the slap of the water and the gurgle of the wake.
