It takes a while to learn to sail. You can get fairly good at basic boat handling- -how to steer, handle the sails, etc.- -in a few months. But then there's all the other things- -picking up docks in weird circumstances, anticipating weather, survival in storms, all the rules, tactics, strategy of racing, how to amke a boat go fast, etc. There is no end.
