Would suggest you make contact with MOFSC as per here and do some twilight sails with them as a crew - they will warmly welcome you. Don't have to have much if any sailing experience to join such clubs and twilight races - just prior swat up on the basics and keep thinking 1-2 manoeuvres ahead so as to be ready.
