Hi,
I relatively recently moved to US from Europe, and I am looking for options to sail. I live at Richmond, Virginia, and I kind of expected that on the coast [in say 2 hour drive distance] there will be handful of clubs or rental places, where one can get little sailing experience, say laser rental per hour, classes, maybe windsurfing, or something in that direction.
I do not see myself committing to buy boat, with no place to store, living 2 hours inland.
I do not see joining some $6000 club where they give me 36 ft cruiser for 1 weekend per month.
I am looking for something with little commitment, affordable, and easy to begin, to perhaps take kids out occasional, something in that direction.
Do such places even exist in the US, or, specifically, in VA or NC? Place where you buy 1 hour lesson, rent laser for 1/2 day, come back in 3 weeks, or 2 months, repeat, something like that?
