It's a sad but true fact that a lot of folks on sailboats simply do not have the required sailing skills that are needful to keep within the happy camper envelope. That said, I am still surprised at just how deficient some sailors happen to be even in the most basic sail handling, anchoring and navigation skills...
For those who want to stay in the happy camper bracket, an excellent slide show on how to reef while sailing downwind would be no bad thing to check out over at the always excellent Attainable Adventure Cruising.
