You can definitely hack it. But jumping straight into offshore is a bad idea. If the weather is good you'll have a good time. If the weather is bad you'll hate it. It's also a bit of a risk taking a newbie offshore.

The best way to get into sailing is to take a couple of classes, then find a spot on a boat for Wednesday night sailing. You can normally just show up before racing and ask if anyone needs rail meat. Someone will take you out.

And if you show up with a 6 pack (preferably a 12 pack) of really good beer you can have your choice of boats. Cans only, no glass bottles.
