I have been a "passenger" sailor in the past and quasi crew
member on a small
racing boat (racing for fun). If I
recall it was called "Snipe" Fun and great little
boat.
Years later arriving to 50 now...I am wanting to "learn". I am a woman who is alone...and newly relocated so have not made any friends just yet. So, I thought of maybe getting a Sunfish. Then I read that a
newbie should really look into a
keel boat. This makes sense to me.
Here's my question: What boat would that be? I'm not looking for something "new" at this time but something suitable for
learning (not sinking). What do I look for and keeping in mind...I am not interested in hoisting a
mast as you had to do with the Snipe....forget it. I'm 5'2" and no HERcules....
P.S. Sorry if I have ill placed this post. I was looking for a "Beginner" Forum
Thanks,
Beverley
