Do you know where the wind is blowing from?  Try to make that a sixth sense - so start by looking around and picking up clues every few moments.  You can practice this at any time, outdoors.

Hi,

If you are learning to sail this isn't the best time of year to learn because you need to spend a bomb on equipment to keep warm and in strong wind's thing's break easier on boats.

 

Not many clubs run training in the winter except if you are in a zone or something like that !!!!

 

Learning in the summer is much more fun otherwise the winter wind's might put you off especially when you go for a swim !

 

Although you may find that the summer brings a hell of a lot less wind !

This time of year, you wrap up warm, if it's not too windy, you, probably won't go swimming, if you go swimming, it will be cold.  Afterwards you'll (hopefully) have an nice warm shower and it will all be worth it.

I assume you are going on a sailing course somewhere, so they will tell you all.

It would be a difficult process to describe on a forum like this - without writing a a "shoe to learn to sail" book and there are more than enough of them around.

Just go, expect to get a little wet and cold, but enjoy it.  

Wanna learn to Ski - PM me..
