You could try taking advice from Sailability:

They may known the location of the sailing courses nearest to you.
Not necessarily a course but you can't just jump in a boat and sail. You do need someone to teach you as there is an awful lot to know before you can be let loose on the water. Sailing is lots of fun so go for it. If after some basic instructions you find it is something you want to continue, then you can start doing courses and get qualifications
