Question New to and looking for a first RTR Sailboat

Hello All, Thank you for accepting me to RC Universe. I'm a "Green-Horn" to electric model Sail boating. I do have a 30+ year old RC Submarine and began sailing again.
I'm 64 and would enjoy sailing a RC Sail Boat and I had found looking for one is quite hard i.e., either the reviews are bad, boat is a toy, boat is ginormous, boat sinks or they are $1500.00 and up RTR. I'd like to start my entry with a boat with a TRUSTED name that sails in a pond, has a decent range and durable/ fun to learn sailing skills with--is there such a boat out there--laugh....
Perhaps ones that look and one can rent in Central Park--I think?? I believe my building patience to buy in kit form has left me at this juncture; however that could change at some point.
Any information that anyone can help this Green Horn learn from, would very much be most appreciated.
Thank you all for taking the time to read.
Godspeed,
Bob
