I don't know Charles, I had a 30' Alberg yawl, and while being very stout, it wouldn't be a good boat to learn to sail in. IMO. Mine was very slow to respond to wind changes, and that's the reason I'd not like it for a beginner. Truthfully, SF Bay has every kind of wind you could imagine. I lived on my Hunter 33 there for 2 years, so I know it well. Even with the brisk breeze, there are dependable spots for a beginner to sail with consistent moderate breezes. Having said Catalina, a San Juan, an Ericson, a Cal, Columbia or any number of boat would serve.
