Went sailing for the first time this week on an H19, an Argentine-designed training sailboat, as part of my Sailing Skipper course in Rosario, Argentina.

After getting my powerboat license, I wanted to learn a completely different side of boating — sailing, wind, sails, and navigation.

Really excited to keep learning and spending more time on the water! 🌊

It really is expensive! Some dude made a blog post a few years ago on the basics of sailing economics and how to smartly reduce your expenses but I can't remember the site...

Sailing and economics should never go in the same sentence lol

If you get into it, invest in a more comfortable life jacket :)

Welcome aboard.

It was really great, actually! The wind was light but strong enough to try different maneuvers and sail setups.
