I might suggest a smaller open or daysailer just to learn. Something
like a 17-20 foot Bluejay or similar would be great to learn on. Go
check out some "class" racing out of some yacht club local one day.
Look at the double handed 17-19 foot class, They are a lot of fun,
pleytiful and as someone told me, the best way to learn to sail is to
follow a bunch of similar boats around a race course... When you can
beat a few of them, you are learning to sail...

Blujays are about 14 ft and too small for adults in my opinion. There
is a 19 footer called the Flying Scot however that is a decent size
and easy to trailer. They are quite popular in some areas and are fun
boats.
