Sept. 1, 1979 — From Women by Dianne Chute in Vol. 28 of Latitude 38:

For years, women have been asking for equality. Granted, it takes strength to turn a winch on most boats, as most boats are underwinched for women, but skippering takes a competitive spirit, guts and ability to give orders that will be followed.

Men must stop treating women sailors as if they are fragile, non-decision making girls.

I'll never forget a Tuesday night race, when I skippered a Santana 22 for a friend who was out of town. We had a very bad start . . . one man, one woman as crew and myself on board. We were so far behind the rest of our class, I decided to take a flyer. As the order was given and the helm went hard over, the man on board grabbed the tiller from me. If I had been a man, he wouldn't even have considered it. I'm sure he'll never do it again, as I wasn't kind. We took first, and he ate humble pie for dinner at the club.
