Your friend would do well to contact the "Moraine Sailing Club" out of Pittsburgh, Pa. They sail on Lake Arthur, 30 minutes north of "Da''Burgh". They maintain a fleet of four "Flying Scot" class boats and several Sunfish. There are members that personally own larger Catalina''s and such in the 25'' to 30'' range, and sometimes look for crew for daysails on the lake. I joined the club this year. $225.00 a year gets you use of all club boats AND small craft certification TRAINING. (Red Cross small boat training/cert). Certified members may use the club boats at any time, boats are reserved online prior to use. Great club, at your pace learning, weekly racing. I highly recommend the club. Start small, learn BIG !
