if you keep in the context of 13 year old ... kid has very surprisingly competent moments ...

Today's racing proved to him that he can only trust his senior team mates [if they haven't been on the boat recently] to remember to do the right thing only "most" of the time.

I may have to have him start reviewing stuff with the old guys before we race. I'm thinking this is going to be hard for the old guys to have a 13 year old refresh their memories.
