If you have decided you want to get out on the water but are not sure what is your best option is, Kayak or canoe, stand up paddle (SUP) power boat, sailboat, kite boarding, or sailboarding (windsurfing) worried that sailing looks too complicated we can help. Kayaks, canoes and SUP Boards are great for exploring shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico, lakes and rivers. Power boats are loud, use a lot of gas $$$ and you don’t get any sense of accomplishment because there is not much to it. It is not much different than driving a car, except your on the water. Kite boarding and windsurfing are easier to learn if you know how to sail already. So small trailerable sailboats are the most sensible choice if you want to get out on the water.

So, how do you find the perfect sailboat for you? Here are some tips to get you started:
Consider your sailing experience and goals. If you're a complete beginner, a dinghy or day sailor may be a good place to start. These sailboats are typically small and easy to handle, making them perfect for learning the basics of sailing. If you want to go fast and don’t mind getting wet, a beach catamaran, Sunfish or Laser would be good choices. If you want to stay dry, or explore farther away destinations, a pocket cruiser may be a better fit. These sailboats are larger and more comfortable, and can provide a more stable sailing experience in rougher waters. Some pocket cruisers have ballast in the center board or keel which can make them too heavy to be towed by some smaller vehicles and those that were not first purchased with the optional “towing package” offered by the new car dealer.
Determine your budget. New and used small trailerable sailboats can range in price from $500 to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on their condition, and if a outboard motor and trailer are included in the price. So it's important to set a budget before you start shopping. At Rick's Small Sailboats LLC, we offer a range of affordable sailboats for sale that are perfect for beginners.
