I sail in North London on the Brent reservoir, locally known as the Welsh Harp. You can get fantastic views of Wembley stadium. Look, you can even see it in the top banner!
For the final answer "I just don't have the time", well make time! Everyone needs a hobby that satisfies them!
My Dad's is gardening (and oddly shed building!).
Anyhow if you don't have a hobby that you enjoy, what is the point in living. All you'll end up doing is becoming a workaholic!
Yachting is for all no matter how tall, short, fat, thin, old or young you are.
This website aims to teach you some lessons that can be learnt onshore through writing, pictures and videos as well as my experiences and funny moments (like the time when the reservoir was covered with ice!).
It is a great sport for all those involved! I hope to see you on the racecourse soon!
