Surfesq is on a distinguished road
LP: (Lady Pirate), I also grew up on the water, fishing, surfing, crabbing and of course sailing. My parents had the vision of putting me and my 3 brothers in sailing lessons as kids. We used to race each other sunfishes until we graduated to catamarans as teenagers. I was also fortunate enough to go sailing on my parents boat. How long does it take to get good? I would say that the answer lies with you. Take a few basic sailing courses and learn the basics. Then get out there and sail. Read the books that are there. The information that is available is amazing. I think if you have an adventurous spirit you can pick it up quite quickly.
