Oyster Bay Sailing School
Jason, Learn to sail on someone else's boat first. You can take sailing lessons nearby at the The Waterfront Center / Oyster Bay Sailing School in Oysterbay. They are US Sailing Certified, and teach keelboat classes on Sonar 23' daysailors, up thru bareboat clases. They even have a class in January to the british virgin islands, that might interest you. After you take the classes, you can race the Sonar's on Tuesday, and get experience in conditions, ranging from great ... to weather that will test your real interest in sailing. Then buy a boat. In case you still want more instruction at this point, they will provide an instructor that teaches on your boat as well. www.thewaterfrontcenter.org Dan
