I looked into a formal class at the local community college, but it's pretty expensive and I want something more hands on than Sailing For Dummies. Can anyone suggest some more cost effective ways to learn to sail?
Thanks in advance.

Hey Pill - welcome to SN dude.
Do you mean "Captain Ron" on the Kurt movie? If so - that's all the training you need. Remember, if somethin's gonna happen, it's gonna happen out there.
Seriously, we started by finding a 1/2 day charter by a guy that would teach you the basics of sailing while you were out. It was a great deal.
