yes, community sailing centers are awesome. that's where my vanguard 420 came from, they sold it to us used some 20 years ago now. i think the international club 420 is a perfect dinghy to learn adult sailing on: it's cheap and readily available to rent or buy or take classes on; it comfortably fits 2 adults and you'll need help as a beginner; it can keel over almost 90 degrees; it can go really fast; takes a full body effort to control in high winds; and can also sail almost entirely upwind; accept a spinnaker; etc. and it's a manageable ~16" that you can pull on a dolly by hand or tow it behind a car.
