Not to sound too patronizing, but if you can't jibe, Third is a hell of a
place to learn. You might want to consider nailing them before going out
to Third too much. It's a great way to get tired and be dragged downwind
requiring third party intervention.

In contrast, Flying Tigers and Candlestick are great places to learn to
jibe.
