I just retired 3 months ago. Now I get to learn to sail as a retirement hobby. Grew up on Lake Ontario so I'm no stranger to big water. Been on water most of my life (and underwater scuba diving) but never got around to sailing until now. All the sailing folks around here told me to take lessons at the local yacht club where they start you out on the small stuff. That's how you learn the basics. Then you can build on that experience. I'm just starting but someday my dream is something in the 23-27' range just for pleasure sailing. It's great to experience sailing, I've been on 'em enough but never really learned how until now. Now that I'm retired I finally got enough time AND money to swing it.
