ideal wind speed?

Hi There.
I would like to thank you for your wide Explanation to Sailing with an ideal wind.
My name is Ernest and I am prety new in the world of sailing, I am taking Sailing classes with my wife, in a 20'' Catalina, and so far after our second class it seems easy to handle, but when it come to our boat things get a little complicated. We have a 1977 68'' motor-sail ( Alden ) with two Masts, and many more sails. and my question is. will I be able to sail this large boat, in blue waters, the same way, that the small Catalina ?. Or should we get also sailing lessons with a similar large ship ?
Dear Jeff and Bruce, you guys sounds veeery enlightened, and I thank you, for your valuable time, to help us.
