It cannot be overstated that before you begin, have someone who is experienced show you the rigging on your boat. This is beyond the scope of this article, as all boats are different. This will cover the hardware present on most small sailboats and common sailing techniques and insert as many definitions of terms as you will need. You should know the names of the different pieces of hardware on your boat , all the lines, and should have rigged your boat at least once by yourself before proceeding. Your first sailing experience should be on a small inland lake. Pick a nice day with a steady light onshore breeze and no inclement weather. Better yet, if you have a friend who can sail, bring them along.
Their experience will be invaluable. Best to start small before you tackle a Tall Ship!
