tracie,

I'm definitely a rookie...brand new to sailing, which means it can be kinda tuff on the hands. But, I've been around horses forever....i have been using the same gloves the harness drivers use when they race, they have to be strong enough to hold up around the track, but supple enough to provide a light touch with the lines. They also make them insulated for winter use. My neighbor has a hobie and i like mine better than what he uses...if you're interested i can forward you some info.
