Hi, all. I am new to the site and I am reading and learning as much as I can prior to buying my first sailboat. I live in the Los Angeles area and plan to most of my ssiling around the coast and nearby islands. I have 13 year-old twin boys who love the ocean almost as much as I do. I've been sailing off and on since I was a kid (a long time ago), and have lots of time off due to my job. So, why not go sailing?

I am going to enroll in some sailing classes very soon in MDR. As far as boats, I was thinking about a Catalina 30 or Islander 32. Should be enough room for 4 on weekend trips and day sails. Any thoughts on these choices? Any recommendations as to sailing schools in MDR?

Thanks in advance.
