May make sense to get something smaller and in better shape - provide you with an opportunity to "experience" boat ownership -time involved, expense, etc.

I sailed various smaller boats when I was younger (sunfish up to daysailers that are 18' or so) but once I got out of high school I never had the opportunity to do it anymore. Now I've moved back to the coast and I'm near the beach. I see the water every day and I cant help myself!
I'm not planning on going anywhere anytime soon, but I want to learn how to handle boats of this size. I looked at trailerables, etc, but I have a place I can store a boat for free in the water until at least jan 09.
