What Vasco says in partially true. When you say you will motor around, and sail occassionally. I am thinking you might be falling into the categaory. It's a sail boat, just sail it. Yes, there may be times when it might be too windy, but your skills will grow only by using the sails. I think the phrase is....calm seas do not make a good sailor, or something like that. Start out on calmer days, but go out with stronger winds as your comfort grows, or you will be at the dock for an eternity saying stuff like....when I get this, or get that. Maybe next year when the kid is a year older....HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!......Just do it!......i2f
