Cruising the surface of the ocean with no roads or tracks to dictate your lines, just the wind, and the waves to read and feel your way along. Many studies point to sailing and boating as stress relievers and getting out on the water as a means of improving your mental health and well-being. In other words, sailing and boating is a past-time where the means is the end, the journey is the thing.

It’s not that hard finding a local club for sailing and boating. Nor is it that difficult to find a cheap boat for sale to get you on your way. Having your own boat gives you the chance to go out with friends and family to go fishing or cruising. Even fixing up an older boat provides a purpose with a triumph that lies at the end of the pursuit.
