After buying a Hunter 23 last year fall, then finally getting it out at a local reservoir I figured I needed to get all my ducks in a row. Currently learning in a 4 person group on a J/24.

Pic is my hunter 23 under mainsail with no jib as a trial run. Or it would be if I didn't get an error trying to upload a picture.

Sounds fun! While I grew up with my dad owning a sailboat (2 different ones 22 and 25') my wife had no idea how to sail.

We took a week long liveaboard ASA (101,103,104). While she definitely learned a lot, it was on a 43' boat. Even though I can sail it was weird not having the immediate feel of the wind like I always had on smaller boats.

But it was a fantastic week, and we were mentally ready to sell everything and move onto a sailboat :)
