I'm no big fan! I flipped my wife and myself into the icey water in the wink of an eye last time I sailed one.

But the Sailfish I learned to sail on was a blast. Not only did we flip it regularly as kids, we often stuck the tip of the mast into the mud. Then you had your hands full. But I also spent time at that age helping crew on an old wooden Lightning. I don't remember anything about sailing that Lightning, except how boring it and the people aboard, were.
