The best way to start is to visit the club on a race morning to see how the races are run. Afterwards just ask one of the members to show you the various boats There should be a club boat available so you can try to get a feel of sailing before buying a boat of your own.
The most common yacht sailed by the club is the International one meter (IOM) For your first boat it may be better to buy a second hand boat.
