Gaining experience

Similiar situation. Owned a Cal 25 since early May. No previous experience. I intend to crew on other boats during the next few weeks while club racing. I'm positive I will learn a bunch. So if you can't find somebody to teach you on your boat, you might try that.BTW, where is Pell City? We sail at Pickwick in the very northwestern part of AL.
