Isn't learning to sail hard? Is sailing complicated?
If you've ever been on or even looked at a sailboat, there is a lot going on. Most of it may be unfamiliar, even for many boaters. And, if you've listened to sailors talk, there are a lot of strange words thrown around.
For many people, the unfamiliarity of sailing and the pressure of being in charge of a large boat can be scary. Just like learning to drive a car, it takes time and experience to become confident in your skills. Just like learning to drive, learning to sail opens up brand new experiences that make it more than worthwhile.
