Hi am new and want to learn about sailing

Okay - here ya go:
Sailing is fun.
Lessons are good but not absolutely mandatory.
Small boats are very affordable and get used a lot.
Medium sized boats are not so affordable and get used sometimes.
Big boats require obscene amounts of money and should not be an object of your consideration right now.
Read and listen to as much as you can. Ignore the stuff that sounds like idiocy regardless of who is telling it to you. Before you decide to take someone's advice, ask them when the last time they employed the technique or process they advising you to follow was. Did it work ? If they have not done it themselves, but are telling you to do it - ignore them. They are idiots.
If you are not careful you can actually kill yourself and the other people on your boat. This doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
Buy a small, cheap boat and get on with it.
Good Luck !
