My advise to anyone who wants to learn to sail , find out about boats , is to head down to their local yacht club and mix with some members , don't come on too strong and make a dick of yourself and you will easily find some fellow enthusiasts who will gladly take you sailing or show you round.
Whoa, hang on here,
You mean, your suggesting the same thing every single person on this forum has suggested. I agree entirely!

Having had a couple of weekends go past since the questions started I am sure Lenny has been down to at least one or two clubs and kicked some tires, said g'day to a few people and generally sniffed it all out.
You can't research it all on the internet!
There is a t-shirt that sums it up.......
Just do it!!
