2) If anyone is familiar with the Mac 25 I was heeling what seemed to be a WHOLE LOT today and I wasnt sure if the boat was made to do that.

3) should I have brought the boom to center of the boat before I attempted the jibe?

Thanks alot everyone for any replies!
1) welcome to beginning, just practice. btw, you probably shouldn't cleat the windward sheet.

2) did you have your water ballast filled? what angle were you at?

3) yes, always.
