I'm a catamaran guy, myself. Took a few lessons. It's fun as hell. A local private school here has sailing lessons ever summer. Is your kid going to do lessons first? They should be able to give you some beginner tips and give you an idea of where to start.
The things on which some people waste money. Pfft. It makes me sad for America.

I had a sunfish at that age and it was a blast. You just have to be ready to travel if he gets into it, that said if he wants to sail in HS or college he will be on 420s and FJs if things haven't changed by then. Again, with the price of the junior membership I'd suggest not buying a boat just yet because the clubs usually have plenty of boats. Also it's almost time for the Wednesday night race to start, tell junior to start rigging the boat and not worry about when the series starts or finishes, just to get on the water and learn.
