ASA certification will get you trained in the basics of sailing and boating safety, And qualify you to rent those club boats.
There so many trailer sailboats in the 20' to 27' range to chose from. In the seventies and early eighties boats were generally pretty stoutly built. Then from the nineties forward production boats generally got lighter and more cheaply rigged.

I love sailing small boats.

Great points! IMO, it’s easier to move up to a big boat from a smaller one, as there’s usually a bigger marker for the smaller, less expensive boats. And, you’ll develop the experience thatl’ll help you choose the right bigger boat for you. Good hunting!
