That's great to hear. If they want to sail, they'll find a way just like we all did. 
In Response To: One of my kids has become a sailor, and the other will be a power boater ()
Our son took the boat out several times alone this past summer. He's quite careful and has the desire to just sail. He kids his mother about sailing away.
On the one hand, it's hard for most kids to afford to own and keep a sail boat of any size, that's always been the case.
On the other hand, if circumstances have you in the right place at the right time, it's never been cheaper to BUY a lot of used sailboat right now.
There is my nightmare for my son. He could become a kroozer.
