If you have some change jingling in your pocket, take some lessons from American Sailing Assn or U S Sailing assn, google them, plenty of programs around you.

Or just hang at a marina or yacht club. Most boats need crew, be a friend and you'll make a friend, and will get a ride. A couple of daysails, then try to crew in a race, the quickest way to pick up the finer points or what makes a sailboat go. Some yacht clubs or sailing clubs may even have classes, the ulterior motive being to develop new crews.

If you can endure the electrical system on a vintage Triumph, then you have the patience to learn sailing. Good luck with it.
