The idea of sailing fascinates me and I've picked up books from the library just to learn whatever I can.
Today I purchased the only boating book that my local bookstore had, Steve Sleight's "The New Complete Sailing Manual".
I've never been around the water much and never spent any time on boats. I even have a tendancy to get motion sickness which I understand can be overcome by wearing a patch.
Other than reading and maybe joining a club to learn more and take lessons, I don't know what else to do.
I may or may not buy or build a kit boat for lakes in the future but I'm just playing with ideas for now as far as a boat goes.
The waters that I'm aware of around here for playing are Buckeye Lake, Hoover Reservoir, and Alum Creek State Park in Ohio.
I'm open to any advice that one would care to share with me as far as boats to own for a family of three and maybe a few friends.
Any advice for getting started sailing would be great too.
Thanks in advance to all.
