On the other hand, there are less stressful ways to learn to sail than racing, and some racing isn't really 'racing'.
My YC does a friday night 'round the cans' race that typically involves 6-8 boats with the owning couple and maybe some guests on board. It's far more a 'can we get the boat from point a to point b efficiently' than it is out and out racing (no spinakers, and boats that race elsewhere are penalized by adding time to the finish).
We (my wife and I) are always available for Annapolis area friday night drop in crew. PM me if interested, season is June to September. I don't really compete because I'm the only multi hull in my YC (of which I'm actually Commodore).
