Wind speed vs safe learning?
Everyone else has had good advice for you, I don''t have any to add. I just wanted to say that if you do follow the above advice, and begin methodically teaching yourself while the wind is low, you''ll be suprised how soon you start wishing for stronger winds! If you really practice your sail handling, steering (ie, through the waves), and reefing, 18 knots of wind will be fun!
Good luck,
