Do it. Even if you don't like competitive sailing which is where most learn to sail courses lead, the experiences and friends and life skills you get from the sport are valuable in every way imaginable.
Tell us your favourite story ….
My favorite story is every time that the wind gets light and the squad can just muck around trying to do random skills like climbing our laser masts and cartwheeling because it just is so much fun and is a real team bonding experience.
