More speed, bigger size, different rigs, different characteristics all require learning. But that was not my point. My point was that if you sail more than just play around close to home port in nice weather you will get into surprising situations that may force you in to unpredictable situations. When you are in such unpredictable situation you need a way out that will save you, your boat and the crew. On a dinghy all you need is righting capability. On bigger boats you need to be able to depower the rig fast enough.
