It's all well and good until you suddenly find yourself and a half-dozen other, heavily heeled and flying sailboats, all converging, uncontrollably, round the first buoy.

Suddenly you realize that those silly, "right of way rules" seem to be the only thing preventing a serious collision (or so you hope).

Suddenly you realize that this is the exact opposite of your reasons for being out here in the first place. The rat race was something you were attempting to escape from, not polish to perfection.

Suddenly you realize that this is infinitely worse than the crap you put up with everyday on the freeway (for which you get paid).

Suddenly your "skipper friend" becomes a real road-raged idiot and no longer any kind of person you'd even want to call "friend".

"Yacht racing" is not what I call "fun".

I was wondering about how you were doing on Lady K. I love surprises. Happy Sailing

Showing up on race day has never worked for me. I have the ASA bareboat and an international proficiency certificate. I don’t claim to be an expert, but I would like more time on the water! Maybe the Lake Mead (las Vegas) sailing scene is just not great? All of the boats on the lake are old and overpriced. It’s literally cheaper to fly to California and grab a rental.

Good advice, I am currently doing this for the summer race series and this is exactly how I approached it. The captain is great and teaching a lot. It has been a blast on top of getting much needed experience.

Racing also builds perspective. When you have duked it out through squals with others while trying to go as fast as possible, cruising with family seems easier

I was a cruising sailor and joined the local club which did keel boat racing. At the first few times racing I was in awe of the skills of the rest of the crew so much that I actually lost some of my abilities to sail effectively. I persevered, the skipper persevered and as crew (always short handed it seemed) had an amazing time and learned much. The Saturday around the bouys was fun and the overnight (Southern Straits) was a test of fortitude which many men like as a test. Yes by all means learn to crew and race as our host here is correct in that your skills will improve dramatically over the short run.

@ 74 & a novice, I'm soon to jump into that salt life. Found & buy that old Catalac8M fixer upper but pretty decent & just do it! You sir / Lady K Sailing..., have been a great 1st. timer's learners curve. An eye opener when I thought of what I didn't know. Soooo..., much to learn! {Telltails*} Thanks.

True story...

I started racing other peoples' boat in about 2010.
Next month I "retire" with the Pacific Cup (San Francisco to Oahu)
Last weekend, we brought home our own first boat, a Swan 59.
