First you should have experience to get into sailing. If you have not then learn basic or take a course. Then start attending boat shows. You will definitely get a chance into match racing.

Agreed, on occasion we do it to train teams of newcomers, two boats, four teams, they rotate, alternately racing, running start sequence and the race and rescue boat training, great fun.

Rubbish - it's super easy.
You'll be amazed about what you learn about boat handling, manoeuvring in a very short space of time. Rules disputes - remember / jot down in a notepad and go through them afterwards with the call book and you should be able to nail some/most of them down For a year at uni - a mate and I was always 'first to the lake' on a wednesday and we'd go out with our crews and spend 20/30 minutes doing the above. Funnily enough when we got onto the team practice later, we'd always be the sharpest for the next 30 mins or so...

I got into it at university, some clubs such as Royal Thames and Royal Southern have MR development programs I think but it is very very limited.
