Hi all,

thank you for all the answers and all the good advice.

As described in my intro here

Trawler Forum - View Single Post - A new member says hello and happy new year

I do have some boating experience but prefer to consider myself a newbie since this was long ago.
I checked the website from the Annapolis boat school and that looked pretty good so I will give them a call next week and see what I can find out.

I agree that it would probably smart to decide about the boat type and then get training on a similar type of boat but I think this will come later when we have made a decision. For now, we would like to find out if being on a boat is something for my wife and son or not. Should we find out that they don't like it then there is no future in boating anyhow and no need to think about a specific boat type.

If they like it and we decide to go for it we will likely turn towards a trawler style boat. I cannot envision myself on any kind of "speed boat", if I want to be fast I take my motorbike or an airplane, but not a boat.

Thanks,
Christoph
