A basic keelboat course is a good foundation. I'd also recommend picking up a copy of Dave Seidman's "The Complete Sailor" to read. It's one of the best books for novice sailors IMHO--well written, covering a fairly broad swath of material and well illustrated.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
