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?

Are you going to take classes?
Do you know anything about boating?
Are you buying ?
Have you considered renting and trying different types
