I appreciate all the advice, still haven't quite made up my mind yet. Faxis, do you know of any yacht clubs in particular around BR? I would guess SYC? I'd definitely like to have at least some experience first.
ETA: Also, this company is the official school of the Moorings. The larger boats they use in the course are Moorings yachts.

I took a leisure class at LSU with my wife some years back. It's a good intro for $125.

Catch the wind in your sails and learn the basic principles of small boat sailing, including safety considerations and knot tying. Put that knowledge to the test on the water at False River in New Roads, LA. Join active small-boat sailors for the information-packed, hands-on class today!
Things to bring:
•Participants are required to bring life vest and a bag lunch for the Saturday session.
Things to know:
•Parking on campus Monday - Friday requires a permit, regardless of time of day. Permits will be issued for registered class participants at no additional charge.
•Saturday's class meeting will meet at the Pelican Yacht Club located at 9000 False River Road, New Roads, LA 70760.
Class ID: 1189

Pelican or Pontchartrain in Mandeville are probably closest. I'm on the other end of the state or I'd take you out on mine. If she survived that storm last night that is.
