I think this is too many people's first experiences on boats, why husbands and wives fight on boats, and why their partners ultimately leave the sport. We used to go out every weekend, but now we are more selective, choose those sunny, flat days. We still pick a couple of "wet" events like Spinnaker Cup down the coast during early spring, but everyone's enjoyment has gone up considerably. Orientation and comfort go a long, long ways towards getting people back out on the boat again.
