Where is best place to take lessons and then charter boats in the Newport Beach, CA area? Thanks for the advice!

I read up on it, rented a 14' Capri, and taught myself.

Other options:
*Google sailing club newport beach
There's also clubs in Dana Point and Long Beach. They can teach you how to sail, and then you can rent their boats.
*OCC sailing classes/programs
*You can sometimes find people offering lessons on craigslist, just be safe about it. Don't wind up tied to an anchor and heaved overboard.

it's very inexpensive if you sign up through the college
