Thanks for this. So many people suggest racing as a means to learn how to sail, without mentioning that finding a boat to race on isn't as easy as putting your name and details on SpinSheet.
After about a year spent trying to figure out how to get into racing I discovered it's not easy for anyone with a full-time job. For anyone who doesn't get off work at 5 and doesn't live within a 30 minute drive of the yacht club (i.e. me, who also doesn't have a car) weeknight races (which seem to be where all the pick-up action is) are pretty impossible.
