Mississippi Bullfrog Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Anyone ever wanted to try their hand at sailing a boat? Many sailing clubs will be having an open day on 11 May called 'Push the Boat Out'. It is a day when they open the club to visitors and let people have a go sailing a boat on the water. Mostly it is dinghy sailing - two or three handers - so you can go out with an experienced sailor and just have a go.It is free. You don't need any experience or equipment. Just turn up and have some fun. No obligation - but if you like riding motorbikes then sailing a Laser in a strong breeze is probably something you're going to love.I'm taking part in our local club event on Winsford Flash from 10.00am to 5.00pm - but wherever you are there will be a local sailing club running something similar. Just Google your local sailing club if you want to have a go. Quote
megawatt Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Always wanted to , since I watched Swallows and Amazon's. Sailed on bigger yachts , but never a dinghy. Quote
Arwen Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Everyone should give sailing a go if they can. It suits racers and folk just out for a bit of fun equally. I used to love being out on the boats with the sea scouts Quote
dynax Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Not sailed for some years, my most recent foray into boating, was an inflatable fishing boat i used on the local canal , before that was an aluminium punt powered with a British Seagull outboard Quote

The Hitcher Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I sailed when I was young as my mum had always been into it and kind of made us, only dinghy sailing but it was quite an enjoyable way to spend a weekend, I’ve pretty much forgotten everything in the 25ish years since I’ve sailed though!.
