David:

Get "Catamaran Racing for the 90's from the online store here and read it with them. It will teach you stuff it will take you three years to learn on your own. Then we you find a trainer you can go over it with them. Welcome to the Hobie Life. You are in for a lot of fun with the kids. My 12 yr old grand daughter sails with me. The 4.3 will be for her and friends when she learns to helm herself. That is her a few yrs ago in the avatar.
