Danger, Danger, Will Robinson!

I don't know about partially deploying the jib as suggested, especially for novices. I can see some stellar material being generated for "Americas Funniest Videos" by this technique. For example; someone forgets to secure the furling line, or a massive gust comes across the beam before the boat has way on .... Well, you get the picture! If you don't, don't even think about trying this
