Lightbulb Sailboats in Long Beach / San Pedro, CA

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good place to rent a sailboat in the Long Beach / San Pedro, CA area? (Or places to stay away from?) I have found several companies on the internet but most of the boats are larger than I want and more expensive. (I am looking for a daysailer in the 18' - 25' LOA range, keel or centerboard.)

If I can't find a rental, how can I find crewing opportunities? I am new to this area and don't have any contacts yet.

As a last alternative, I am thinking about a few lessons to help me get familiar with the marina, harbor, and sailors. Any suggestions for lessons?

Thanks, Richard

Contact (click on) Marina Sailing located at the Marina Village in the downtown Long Beach marina facility, inner harbor. The Olympic Sailing Center is also in Long Beach, on the Peninsula, and has training programs. (Also, FYI, Google is your friend.)

I would be interested in for a nice sailor in the area as well, particularly Dana Point or Catalina. I am docked at SD now but looking to part with her due summer......,
