    We just moved to Belgium, my husband is a naval architect and was sailing and designing sailing yachts since years, I was sailing smaller boats since I was a teeny, both are very interested to get back into active sailing.

    ahh there we go with that "most teenager"^([sic]) crap again. Its been a while since I was a teeny, but I've met a lot of teens that are a lot more mature than adults I know that are in their 30's and 40's even. Come on with the generalizations already.. do you say thing^([sic]) like "what do you expect from mexicans" too??
