Like most peole, they lose necessary skills over the interruption of boating seasons or just available time onboard.

Many are really never operators to begin with, so lack of continuity of practice means difficulty advancing up the ability ladder.

Many need twins and or thrusters every time they dock to enjoy their boat without fear of damaging their boat yet again or worse, other boats. This fear often turns them into dock queens.
