lv-ab: Sail training for women - and perhaps house-keeping training for men

    Wally made a good point about the benefits of making sure that the "little
    woman" can handle the boat. Since she swims like a fish and has taught
    swimming in a previous life, maybe I can persuade her to take the helm of
    the Fireball - and rescue the non-swimming me when we dump!

    Another objection my wife raised is that boats can smell bad. She has a
    sensitive nose (VERY useful when selecting and enjoying fine wines<G>) and
    can smell things that I miss completely.

    I can see a major problem when I buy my second-hand boat and have to cope
    with dust, dirt, old upholstery, old heads and holding tanks, etc. If it
    turns out to be a "fixer-upper", I can see it being a "cleaner-upper" too.

    Any useful references to help me make sure that my dream-boat doesn't end up
    smelling like well-aged blue cheese?

    Thanks.

    John
