arb06 , when you tell me to trapeze first...I'm tryijng to avoid learning how to trapeze until I've gotten good mastery over the rest of the boat. Is that a mistake?



When you say to keep my line and not give up position, I think you may be thinking in terms of racing, is that right? I don't race, at least not yet, I'm just trying to make sure I have the basic knowledge to stay safe out there on the water, I've only been sailing a cat for 2 weeks, and spent some time this summer learning to sail a Sunfish before that.



But you say to keep the main as flat as possible, so you say I should not let it out if I encounter a puff. Thanks, that's what I need to know.
