Proper terms for the different parts of the boat, and definistions of basic sailing terms would be a pre-requisite.
You really need to mention apparent wind, as well as true wind.
Most small dinghies don't have any instruments to speak of, at least when I was growing up...
Storms, reefing and such aren't generally required or possible on many small dinghies, which don't have sail reef points, and can't handle bad weather as a general rule. In general, the bigger the boat, the higher the wind it can deal with... what feels like a typhoon in a Sunfish, is nice breeze in a 30' keelboat, and is like nothing in 75' monohull.
However, before you do any of this, I think you really need to get more experience and knowledge of sailing yourself...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
