Hi everybody

Perhaps the forums are some sailors.

What is the best boat for the novice sailor?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

You can get your sea legs with a 16 ft albacore day tripper without spending a lot. Will get you used to dealing with a jib, tacking, sailboat protocol and safety.

Yes, what have you has experience with?

Yes I guess some of the issues are , budget ? I mean a yacht with a crew of 10 is different than one with no one but you and/or family.
Are you going to take classes?
Do you know anything about boating?

Are you buying ?
Have you considered renting and trying different types
