Ok, I have only been out on my boat a few times. In really light winds due to cold water temps. Today was the third time about 70 in the air and still chilly water. The winds were light but 10 - 12 with gusts 15 a little freaky for that cold of water. Now, I have sailed a few other times but not much and in very warm water so filpping a 19' Prindle was actualy fun.
The other day I was reading throught this and thought to my self,It is fun but...
So today it dawns on me that I was acutaly starting to understand the many little pieces of info I have read on these threads and I am doing the righ things, roll tacs, controlled gybes, sheet out & head up to slowdown.......
After a few hours of this, I land the boat, de-rig, climb in the truck, start driving home, thinking damnn I'm tired that is actualy like work and slowly I notice that I have what can only be discribed as a Hobie Grin on my stupid face.
It was an Awesome DAY!!!!!

Ha! another one!
Who says this sport is on the decline?
You said you have flipped it. That is the part I want to learn before I will take my boat alone. Once I get my boat in May the first thing I am going to do is learn to right it. After that, I will figure it out.
How did you get introduced to sailing?
