Requesting advice on my sailboat racing plan

Richard,
I raced in the Cruising Class for years, finishing as high
as third BUT
I never had as much fun as when I had a novice female
crew. They didn't
give a **** where we finished as long as they where
sailing and
relaxing. There were times when the Tender had to wait for
us to turn a
mark so that they could pick up the buoy.
My advice, for what's it worth is; ENJOY YOURSELF, train
your crew but
be a easy captain to sail with.
Some Downwind tips. In light air, set your Jib & Main wing
on wing;
Isn't W-W the slowest sail set one can make?
Scotty
Not down wind...
