I didn’t find it too hard. I did some sailing before that in small 12’ Sunfish day sailers and 18’ Hobi cats during Summers at the shore.
The principles are very straight forward and you need to develop a “feel” for the boat. I could easily put a side rail in the water while ripping up the Chesapeake bay at 28 mph with a feeling of total control as I dropped out of the high speed run and maneuvered into a cove to set anchor for the night.
