Raced in my twenties and thirties, did what I was told and knew nothing about sailing but loved the rush of the her heeling and speeding through the wind! Now retired, bought a 23’ Merit Sprint and been dreaming of costal cruising. Active in NauticEd and SailTies. Two awesome resources.

Decent wind. First race completed. Where in the thick of things until we were fouled by a port tack racer whoever were on a starboard tack Had a great time with two new crew members
