I just joined here because I have been looking at getting into sailing for the past 3 or 4 hours and am gettting a pretty good idea of what to expect. I would really like it if anyone could offer any advice or tips to get me pointed in the right direction. I have seen boats, I like boats and I have even been on a few but I am unsure as to where the best place to begin is.
I live in Vancouver in the West End and really love the idea of being able to take off on a long weekend and sail up and down the coast. or even just go boogie around English Bay on a Sunday morning.... This sounds like a really great time to me and would like to make this dream a reality.
I dont have a ton of cash but so have some disposable income as I have no kids or wife... I see boats for around $5000 but it seems moorage can be a problem these days.
Anyways there is about about me and why I am here.
So if anyone wants to tip me off... go ahead!
