    Ideal for the weekend sailor, this boat can be towed by car
    and trailer to and from your house to wherever you would
    like to sail. Sailing areas have slipways where you can
    reverse your boat into water and then park your car. You
    may decide to store your boat near the water, in a
    boatyard or a caravan park. The boat can also be moored
    on the water. The safest and most secure way is to use a
    marina. These can easily be found on the coast, inland
    waterways and lakes.
    Text 1. Text 2. Text 3. Text 4. Questions
    When I was thirteen and my brother was ten, this
    farmer on a farm where we were staying on holiday
    took us a long way out to sea in his boat to do some
    fishing. It was a fantastic day. We had a great time,
    caught some fish and then very quickly the skies
    turned dark grey and we were in a race against time to
    get back to the coast as the winds got up and the rain
    poured down. It’s only thinking back that I realise the
    danger we were in.
    Text 1. Text 2. Text 3. Text 4. Questions
    Before you start, ask someone who is experienced to
    show you the equipment on your boat. All boats are
    different. You should know the names of the different
    pieces of equipment and should have prepared your boat
    for the water at least once by yourself before setting sail.
    Your first sailing experience should be on a small inland
    lake. Pick a nice day with a steady light breeze and no
    rough weather. If you have a friend who can sail, take
    them along. Their experience will be invaluable.
    Text 1. Text 2. Text 3. Text 4. Questions
    We are a small club established to promote safety at sea
    and small boat angling. We have in excess of 150
    members with over 90 boats. Members store their boats
    on club land, benefiting from full security. Boat sizes
    range from small outboard-driven dinghies up to those
    with a maximum length of 10.5 metres. The club aims to
    cater for the needs of sea anglers fishing from small
    boats within club waters that extend from St Catherine’s
    Point in the East to Portland Bill in the West.
