[quote=davefarmer]I like dogboy and ramstadt's advice. Peruse the classifieds here, and maybe craiglist if you're near water, for some period of time. After a while you'll recognize a complete boat, one in sailable condition, and a decent deal. You'll learn a lot, come up with additional questions you can post here. Don't be in a hurry, and as advised, beware of extremely cheap boats, replacement parts can be expensive.
