Sad to say, people do. I have seen a whole sailing school - on Coniston too - all in helmets. And on one occasion a group from an industrial company doing a Mamagement Development Course on the big Lowestoft sailing trawler EXCELSIOR were appalled not to be issued with helmets as a matter of course.

I think it very sad. People are trained to be afraid of boats, to think boats are dangerous. Certainly boats have to be treated at all times with respect, but sailing is a lot safer than crossing the road!
