Introducing myself!

Hello!

I am a 50 year old guy who has always wanted to sail around. I will be taking the ASA basic keelboat course this week, and hope to eventually get up to Coastal Cruising and Bareboat.

I doubt I will be able to buy my own boat for quite a while, so my hope is to maybe be part of a club in my local area (Pensacola Fl) and occasionally do bareboat charter thing in interesting places. That may be too expensive too, though.

I don't have a ton of sailing experience, but have loved what little I have done.

Welcome aboard Kyle, go get yourself a Laser and get out there with the kids! You'll have a blast and you'll learn the basics at light speed!

Hi Kyle, Welcome to the forum. Boats come in all price ranges. My first cost me $10.00 to build. Two sheets of plywood and a handful of screws.

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Kyle.

Thank you all for the encouragement!! I'm doing the ASA keelboat class starting tomorrow! Hoping that there's no lightning in Pensacola bay tomorrow!!
