Is really fucking hard. Here is an excerpt from a conversation had between myself and the gentleman gracious enough to instruct me on a nice (albeit windy) Wednesday afternoon:
Instructor: A lot people have trouble pointing the boat into the wind when it strengthens...some people just get it and some don't. It looks like you're a natural.
Me: (secretly glowing inside) Alright...Maybe we can try jibing....Prepare to jibe!....Jibe Ho!
Instructor: Uh you're overstea.....SPLASH...gurgle gurgle gurgle...oh shit...gurgle gurgle
Me: gurgle gurgle I'll get the gurgle bucket
The cool thing is that no one was too pissed and we managed to keep the boat from capsizing...Man you just can't have an ego if you're gonna learn anything. These boats just won't let you.
