Sorta kinda for me. I sailed one day on a friends boat (Catalina 25) and was hooked. Sold both my motorcycles a couple months later and bought a 23' Aquarius. I'm in my second season. I still don't know what a lot of stuff is called and last season sailed with just the main. This year the
jib goes up. It took a bit of getting used to on the heeling part but I ok with it now...sorta kinda
At least I feel comfortabel that my boat won't tip over, me fall into the water, get tangled up in the
rigging and drown....sorta kinda.
Anyway, I'm having fun and that's what matters.
