[quote=Wolfman]Mojim, if you are looking for a first boat the prindle 18-2 is likely too big a beast to learn on. You need 2 people who know a little bit about what thier doing to handle that boat. You would probably better off getting into a smaller simpler rig like a Hobie 16 or Prindle 16. The Hobie is about the simplest setup there is, it's fast and you can get one pretty inexpensively.
That being said, I recently started on a Nacra 5.2 after about 15 years since I sailed a hobie 16. So it isn't impossible to get into a bigger boat right off.
