re: Anyone here sail?

You need a sea daddy on Pontchartrain. Check out the yacht clubs down there. Look up websites. They race a lot and they always need an extra crewman. You can learn a lot fast that way but you won't really learn to sail till you've got the tiller and the sheets in your own hands and start reading about it so it all starts coming together in your head what's happening.

It can be very startling at times if you don't know what's going on. I've seen people almost shite themselves the first time the boat heels over. Now I warn them. Mostly.
