Sailing - is it a suitable pastime for grown men and women?

Saw FullCircle's plea for pics in another place after losing the contents of a hard drive and sent him a few of the spinnaker weekend that he and Morgana spent aboard Silkie a couple of years ago but it set me thinking.
Two men make a thousand mile round trip by car to spend two days in a cockleshell trying to use the wind to cover 36 miles and ending up back at the precise spot from which they started. It might be an extreme example but it's a scenario familiar to us all I'm sure.
I wonder sometimes - I really do.
Does anyone remember the Christmas troll from the Irish contingent that was ignited by this one?
