You can learn on just about anything but I'm not sure I would want it to be a Hobie cat. Good advice about taking some classes.

I've taken a few ASA classes, some 'performance instruction' on J boats and learn something every time. My first boat was a Cal25. Cheap, simple and lots of fun. Moved up to an Alberg 30 and while it's much better for a weekend, sometimes I miss the simplicity of the Cal.

A friend took a class through a local community college, pretty cheap and they got on the water for cheap. Also, look out for postings for crew. You'll learn a ton getting a ride on a boat.
