I'd agree with getting a GRP boat. I rebuilt a Heron, and a lovely little boat to sail it was, but I overdid the finish, so was paranoid about scratches. The bloke I sold it to punched holes through the (new) bottom by taking speed bumps too fast.
For learning and knocking about grp is best.
Skipper a bit heavy and actually has quite a delicate hull.
I'd certainly suggest as other have done that getting a boat that has a fleet nearby will save the hassle and cost of an upgrade if they want to get competitive.
