Hi Lorne,

Please do not try to learn how to sail and to race with a liveaboard boat that you just got in to.

The very best way to learn racing and sailing is to get out by crewing on well found yachts. The ego of most crew members will smother you with information and by the end of a season you will see much of it applied. Good and bad.

Then you can use your own boat, loaded as she will be, for pleasure. Say, a nice daysail once in awhile.

        Cheers, Russ

Never raced before, interesting table with lots of boats. I obviously have lots of reading tonight when I get off work. What dimensions are best to get as close to match and in what priority? I assume "I" J, P, E etc in that order need to match and that I is more important to match than J and more so then P etc down the line.Â

I do plan to get into racing this year, but it's a whole new world to me. I mainly bought it to live on, but want to increase my sailing experience.

A couple of my new weather routing apps would like a polar to make routing more accurate.  Anyone have one or know where to get one? If not, there polar are prep loaded. Would any get me close?
