Hi guys,
I need some advice regarding sailing in or around Montreal / Lake Champlain area.
I took sailing lessons I can single hand a 22 footer or a little bigger, did some navigation, radio the basics.
I need some recommendation on how / where to actually start sailing now.
I would like to join a club that has boats to rent for non boat owners, or a club with a decent more advanced learn to sail program.
Or I'm thinking of buying a used boat (25-26 foot range) and keep it at a club.
Or buy a trailerable boat and keep it at home... meaning I have to also buy a car able to tow it - it might be cheaper in the long run, but I expect I'll want to move to a bigger boat in the long run so probably not worth it.
Any recommendations / ideas? What expense am I looking at as a NBO vs BO in the area?
I am leaning towards Lake Champlain - seems more interesting, and cheaper when it comes to charts but I'll take any advice
Thanks in advance
