My wife and have now sailed our Prindle few times, and are still having problems tacking (we tack just fine in a Sunfish, but that's all we had sailed until now).



We just got a few books, and we're trying to decide whether to learn the roll tack first, or the more conventional tack as described in Catamaran Sailing: from start to finish. The roll tack seems a little more complex, but not completely unreasonable. Is this something we can get a handle on relatively quickly, or should we stick with traditional tacking for now?
