You HAVE to have time. Sailing is not something you learn in one sitting. Look around where sailboats are kept in your localle and, if need be, put up "Want To Crew " notices there. Be honest about your lack of experience. Lots of times you will find someone willing to take newbies out for a sail.
If in SF area, try Cal Sailing Club in Berkeley where you can join and get very low cost instruction and use of
dinghies and daysailors.
Good Luck
