Scubadude,
I believe you should memorize 2 or 3
basic how to sail books. Also, everytime
you go outside try to figure out where the wind is coming from. With this knowledge
you will be able to sail a boat the first
time you go out and be able to sail the boat back. If you do not know how a sailboat can
go to windward then adjusting a sail won''t
make much sense. If you cannot figure out
which direction the wind is blowing from (this is not easy but with lots of WORK you will become very good at it--forget instruments--learn it by feel) you will have a hard time sailing.
