Being out on the water, whether it is freshwater or salt has a special appeal for almost everyone. There is something deeply embedded in human nature that loves the water. Maybe it is because our bodies are 50% water in the first place, or maybe it is because our evolutionary ancestors were semi-aquatic, finding plentiful nourishing food and an agreeable lifestyle from living next to and swimming in the water.

Whatever the reason, the attraction of boating for many people is undeniable. Perhaps you have harboured a desire to own a boat and be able to go out on the water whenever you feel like it but do not really know how to go about it. After all, boating is not without its dangers for the unprepared and the foolhardy. You want a primer to get you started. This book has been written for you.

Boating is much more than just launching a boat, starting the engine or hoisting the sails and off you go. Experienced sailors make it seem easy. Well the good news is that while there quite a lot to know, it is mostly all common sense that can be learned through a combination of reading and practical experience.

Boating can be a rewarding solitary activity, or something you do with a close friend in the nature of a hunting expedition. Or you can do it as a family or with a group of friends and have loads of fun. The possibilities and locations are endless.

Boating reduces stress and enriches your life in countless ways. It doesn’t matter if you’re learning to water ski, relaxing as you try to catch a fish, or just lounging on deck and enjoying a sunset, boating enriches your quality of life.

In many parts of the world, around 90% of people live an hour or so from a navigable body of water.
