Hello everyone,
At the tender age of 45, I have decided to fulfill my lifelong dream of learning to sail. After reading every book I can find on sailing, I'm signed up for a few lessons in dinghy sailing.
I would like to buy a dinghy, and I would like your advice on which to buy: I want something that can hold me (6'0 and 240) and my lady friend who is 5'6 130. Not really interested in going super fast; just something that we can have fun on and that can be easily transported.
I have no problem with buying used, except for the fact that here in Seattle, the used dinghy market seems non-existent.
I have been lurking this forum for months and I've really enjoyed it and have learned a lot.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Brett
