Default RE: Full size sailing

I'm just getting started in full-scale sailing. I have flown RC planes for several years now, but since I was a kid, I have been fascinated by the sailboats I saw along the Gulf coast. About a year ago, Hobby Lobby had a close out deal on a nice one-meter RC sailboat. After I got that and then a Victoria, I got involved with a local RC sailing club. (I was immediately hooked.) Several club members are also full-scale sailors. Anyway, next weekend, I hope to buy my first sailboat (~15 foot Catalina). With the assistance of a couple local sailors, I hope to be learning full-scale sailing this summer. (I hope 35 isn't too late to get started.)
