Ixamyakxim: That's awesome congrats! Enjoy her! That's not a bad boat to learn to sail on either - do you have someone who can walk you through the ropes or are you just going to read and or wing (sail?) it?
I have to attend a weekend course on the basics. It´s a requirement for the insurance. I can´t even move the boat by myself if it´s not insured or have someone qualified on board. I have been told it´s easy as balls though, it´s mostly about what not to do, rather than what to do with it. What most people tell me is that sailing is one of those things that you can learn over the weekend but you will never master in a lifetime.
My wife is also attending, and my daughter wants to bring her boyfriend aboard when we finally start weekend sailing, i might "accidentally" dunk him.
