Pauline is in fact a very skilled sailor qualified to RYA Instructor standard and this incident was in no way her fault.
I also know Pauline and I am genuinely sorry if my post suggested I blamed her. I am aware of Pauline's committment to safety, especially where disabled sailers are concerned. I passed on to the Nancy Oldfield Trust Pauline's Able Sailor, a device that helps disabled sailers to tack. It has a seat not unlike a Skiff's seat but instead of operating fore and aft it swings in an arc from side to side.
