| Hi I've just returned to a Micro, not a Gem though, after many years absence, during which time I've sailed performance dinghies like 5o5s, Int 14s, RS 600, 700, and owned a minitonner (22ft) and a Half Tonner (30ft). Apart from some pretty unimportant sail hoisting, and reefing gagetery, which anyone on this chat line could tell you about, there is practically no similarity between a Micro and the keel boats, and every simillarity with performance dinghies, (apart from the fact that they capasize, and Micros do so very reluctantly). I'd use the autumn to get some sailing in in a dinghy, any dinghy, and to work out how your Gem works, the Winter to go skiing and perhaps do some form of distance learning like shore based RYA keel boat course, and set off in the spring with a background of sailing. I'm happy to answer any general qureies, although Gem specific are best aimed at the Stour guys who have several!
