With decent quality modern footware the risk of slipping on a deck is minimal. Modern deck shoes / boots really do grip like whatsit to a blanket. Add to that great care is taken when moving about on deck as a slip at best is likely to end with a soft but very wet landing. Riding certainly puts constant pressure on knees so probably best to avoid.
I might take you up on the offer some time, you could always come sailing. Nice little boat.....
Thanks. I've just been very lucky in the horses I've had the opportunity to ride and the occasional instructor that has made huge step changes in my understanding of riding. Still plenty of people on the forum out there competing and reporting back.

Nice! but are you the skipper?Hmm, looks a bit small. I do my sailing on this:
In nautical speak it is a Bow Roller which holds the anchor. Boat has an electric windlass which allows us to lower or raise the anchor at the touch of a button. The bow roller has been extended to include attachment points for offwind sails such as reacher and asymetric spinaker. These sails are not left attached to the boat, just rigged as and when needed.

That would fit in the jester challenge rules. Cross atlantic in 25' (or less) single handed. Now that is mad!
