Ron enjoy the boat, I suggest using a program like sailflow (www.sailflow.com) and only go out in the begining in 5/7 knot winds, start with one sail get used to the maneuvers and the try a small jib after your comfortable with each point of sail. As another member said bringing an experienced person that will allow you to relax and learn can help.As time goes on you can try higher winds as your comfortable. Im up to 14 to 16 knows with a reef, not ready for 20 yet. I need to find someone to go out with me before I try more. Im getting better every day but I have had my "ocassions" and said you learn. Enjoy
