My first ever sailing cruising was in Greece. The family and I also had a wonderful holiday there a couple of years ago with a flotilla (great for the kids).
I was interested, then, to stumble across the Sailing Issues web site which provides some general sailing information (including a basic navigation course) as well as some really good information on cruising in Greece and Turkey.
Even if you're over 100 years old, you can obviously still be very trendy. The venerable Yachting Monthly magazine has launched its own You Tube channel.
This is about as far from leisurely cruising as you can get. The French "Hydroptère" team ran through the 45 knot barrier in December and is closing in on the elusive 50 knots - the sailing equivalent of the sound barrier in post-WWII aviation. Check out the video on their home page if you think you've ever had a 'sleigh ride' down-wind. Impressive to note that they hit this speed with what appears to be two reefs in the main.
