I'd highly recommend it. One big deal for me when I was first learning is that I got focused on optimally trimming the boat but deciding where you want to go is a big (maybe even bigger) deal. It was kind of a deeper life lesson for me.

Also spent a year living on the boat I eventually bought which let me save up enough to buy some land. Now I have a ton of footage of diy projects I might put on YouTube eventually too. Overall it's actually worked out as a better hobby than digital electronics in terms of value I've gotten out of it (both entertainment wise and monetary.)

Sailing is definitely on my bucket list. Hope you get to share on YouTube!

Sailing is great. And has so many facets. You can sail competitively with anything from dinghies to big boats. Or you can just enjoy an afternoon out on the bay. Or you can go on a world cruise.
