Is the Sanibel 18 a good “beginner” boats?
The Sanibel 18 is very responsive so they make good training platforms. They are one of the easiest boats to launch and rig in their size class. They are, however, “real” sailboats, with controls and rigging similar to that found on many larger cruisers, so they may be a bit intimidating for a person with little experience and no teacher ready at hand. A person with no sailing experience whatsoever should strongly consider some sailing lessons to gain experience and confidence.
