Learned to sail on one. Loved it. Ours was a wooden Sunfish. I think there must have been someone selling plans to the home builder. Even made out of wood, two people could carry it. Wish I still had it. Co-owned it with my brother and sister-in-law. They let it sit outside in TN and it rotted away.
Can't get a simpler rig to learn to sail with. Lateen sail. Imagine yourself in the Arabian Gulf. Be prepared to get wet and practice righting it. The only sailboat more fun would be a catamaran or an iceboat.
