Another tip for skippers is that I have found that generous use of the Cat O'Nine Tails tends to cause a more steady and accurate course to be steered.

I also believe in reserving the use of the tawse and keel-hauling for lesser crimes, such as being slow in saluting me as I am piped aboard, a reluctance to lick the salt off the superstructure at the end of a days cruising etc.
Please let me know if you think I am spoiling those beneath me too much wont you?
