Try sailing in conditions under 10 with just the main and adjusting the centerboard to balance the helm. As you get comfortable, add the jib, or add a crew to manage the jib for you.
Have fun ... looks like a great boat to learn on.

took the words out of my mouth.too many things going on at once can make it harder to get a feel for the boat.
p.s. dont sail further than you can swim when learning.
