Sailing and windsurfing are two great sports for getting you active and energetic, outside in the fresh air. They’re quick and easy to learn – with the right tuition you’ll have great fun, you’ll be speeding along in no time … and you’ll probably get wet!
Once you’ve learnt the basics, you can actively explore your local stretch of water, join a sailing club full of like-minded people, or learn to race.
No matter what your age or experience, there is a course for you. It won’t cost you a fortune, and there’s an RYA training centre near you where you can get started. Find one at www.rya.org.uk/GetontheWater/findafacility
