I have zero experience with boats and I am desperate to learn sailing. My future plans involve sailing abroad. I was originally looking at very small sailboats to learn on, but read a few times that these boats are just as easy to handle. Would anyone be willing to advise:

I think the price seems very fair and the condition seems to be very well for the age and price. My goal with this boat would be to keep it docked in the lake while I learn the first year and then eventually when I am comfortable, moving it to Charleston and painting the bottom and sides when we complete the move. Eventually sailing to the Bahamas and Fl. Keys would be a goal.
Any and all opinions are welcome here.
