Like I said, The difficulties we faced were probably a result of poor sail trim. The courtesy captain provided was less than helpful with sail trim tips. Did quickly learn that back winding the jib was not helping the situation with all the lines running to the starboard side of the helm and I agree with not needing to back wind the jib to tack once we got the rhythm down. In fact trying to back wind just messed things up further with the timing and all the lines running to the starboard side of the helm.
I am glade we agree on the cruising aspect of it! Can't wait until June 2017!
