Lucy,
yes it is dunting at first but the boat will not flip over. And one you get use to the idea that unless you jump you will not fall in the water. All will be better and your confidence will build. Just a lot of hand holding the rails and crawling on hands and knees. A note to what happened, As beginer sailors you should have reefed the main and eased the traveler. When the heavy weather came your way. If nothing just for practice. This will give the boat much more righting ablity in the strong wind by giving the main some twist and smaller sail area. Spilling the excess wind off the top of the sail. Next if the wind is still too much roll up the head sail or change to the plan old jib. Hope you stick with it. Sailing give way more pleasure sails than hell rides. Enjoy those sunsets and just tuff out the few ruff rides. With experance and aquired skill you will enjoy the ruff ride too.
