Congrats, Jim. This is one reason why sailing is a great thing for kids, it teaches them (and us) that when you are unprepared...you are unlikely to win. The same skills of planning, concentration, teamwork, etc. that they build for sailing and racing will pay off in many other areas. The fact that you DNFed and STILL had a good time & plan to do it again (well, except the DNF part) shows you've got the right head to enjoy it.
