Congratulations on your 16...........

I don't live any where near you (California) but I'm sure some one will be able to help you.

One of the first things I did was to take my first sailing lesson through my County Parks and Rec. centers. it was 4 ours a day (Saturday) for 4 weeks.

It was really a good course and I think it cost me $75 .00.

The boat I learned to sail on was a Capri 14.2, nice little boat.

Good luck with your 16

Hi:
I'm in Fall River, don't know how far into the Cape you are. Check with some of the local Yacht club in your area. I'm 30 minutes from the Bourne bridge.

I could have written the same post!   I recently just picked up a C16 too.  I have never sailed before but had many power boats.  I went out with the previous owner and learn some basics for an hour in the cape .  I wanted to suggest Hingham harbor public boat ramp.   I have taken the boat out 4 times so far to practice on mild wind days.  There is a very calm peacefull wide open area in the inner harbor  (avoid low tide) to practice.  I have not taken a course yet ( I read  a couple books)  but I would like to soon.  The C16 feels very stable and forgiving to me and I am happy I am learning on this boat. I love it.  Good luck
