perfect boat to start with! Dinghies are a great way to learn, much easier to get a feel for how a boat reacts to current, wind and sail/rudder inputs.
Have fun! I have NEVER been without a sailboat since I was 18 or so. There were times when I had no car, and hitchhiked to work & school, but I've ALWAYS had a sailboat... if even a $500 dinghie
