This is probably going to come across wrong...and is not intended to sound the way it probably will..
The first sailboat I was ever on was my own a Mac21...On the first sail of my life my girlfriend and I went out of The Everett Marina in Puget sound returned and sailed dang ne'er into its into its slip...communication glitch...she doused the main to early..
Sailing is not rocket science...Instruction and classes are good, taking them will be good for you..but so is self teaching...and more adrenaline too..
