I totally understand the thoroughness of pilots and, as a frequent passenger, encourage their dedication. With sailboats, however, you can usually stop or anchor it to figure out a problem, which makes sailing much more forgiving than flying. There are no worries about falling out of the sky. Relax a little and use your superior piloting skills to keep from getting into situations where you need you demonstrate your superior piloting skills. You will learn everything you need to know during the briefing. If anything comes up that troubles you, use the VHF or cell phone to contact the base.
