Get Energised On The Water This Spring

May 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Launched this year, onthewater.co.uk has everything you need to get started - from events listings to ideas for boating holidays, details of sailing schools and even tips on boating terminology to learn your beam from your bow!

Blow the winter away by blasting across the Solent on a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) or take in a different view of the capital by exploring the River Thames on a cruiser, electric launch or a rowing boat. Canoeing and rowing are both great ways to get into shape before the summer, join one of the many clubs all over the country to get expert tuition and get active on the water.

Learn a new skill for life this spring and look into outdoor and training centers that offer taster and short courses.  There are loads of water sports to experience, choose from energetic activities including canoeing, dinghy sailing, power boating, yacht cruising and racing, available all around the UK.  

If the thought of getting out on the water whets your appetite for a life on the high seas, before taking the plunge to buy a boat why not try hiring equipment for the day from a local club. When a sailor’s life calls, simply ask the company selling your dream boat for a trial before you buy - most retailers are keen to marry the perfect ship to their captain.

Get social on the water and make a day-trip of it. Visit a host of events that are running all around the country, designed to give a taste of being on the water no matter where you live. Go to www.onthewater.co.uk for all 2010 events listings.
