    Could anyone recommend a website where I can find free plans for a small sailboat - smaller 13 feet - that would be suitable for someone just starting to learn how to sail?

    Thanks

    You won't find free plans anywhere, at least not free plans that are any good. A 13-footer that will handle reasonably well will command a small price.

    Look up H.H. Payson ( http://instantboats.com ). He's got quite a few Phil Bolger plans in this size that are fairly inexpensive and very builder-friendly.
