"Last October I spent three days in a basic keelboat sailing class, sailing on the Hudson river with Manhattan to starboard and the Statue of Liberty aft. I've read several books and magazines on sailing.  I've spent hours looking at used boats on dozens of listing, and it's only the end of January.  I've been well and truly smitten.  I can retire in a couple years and by that time I hope to have honed my skills enough to explore broader horizons.  My plan is to take basic coastal cruising and navagational classes in the spring and perhaps find a yatch club, a mooring or slip and a used boat to spend as much of this season as possible under sail.\nI would love to hear from Brooklyn newbe's and salts for advise.\n\nDavid Owens"
