My children are out on the water at least 4 x per week training and racing at the weekends when possible … agree with ‘kayakerie’ above - sailing’s great :okay:

Really fancy joining the sailing club. Think my youngest would enjoy it.

We're sticking our daughter in Sea Scouts so she can learn.
A good choice, she will get a good grounding in all types of craft. The Sea Scouts will only be able to take her so far, if she gets really keen and wants to specialise in a particular craft then she would need to also join a club. Sea Scouts also do a large part of what normal ‘mud scouts’ do as well, so it is not every week spent on the water. Depending on the group, waiting lists can be long, our Beavers have a 3 to 4 year waiting list, that drops to about 18 months at Scout age.

Great looking sailing family you're bringing up there, Colin! I would love to have that boat in the top 2 pics. I hope your kids continue to have a blast. Starting young they are likely to stick with sailing for life, whether competitively or not. How great. :laugh:

Love canoeing but not done so for ages. Aldi got inflatable ones in on Sunday but £40 seems very cheap! Other camping outdoor stuff from there has proved reliable however so might chance it.

That was my concern with an inflatable. On the upside it will fit on the bike trailer. I don't have storage space for a rigid canoe sadly.

Please don't try putting it in the sea

Live in a flat here, so I have to rent a garage
