Just 16 kilometers (10 miles) outside the city center you'll find watery delights of all kinds: from canoeing, windsurfing and sailing to the more advanced power boating and raft racing. These activities lie in store for all age groups and abilities. For example, you can learn basic boat control and safe handling of a dinghy in a taster sailing session, or you can learn to be a proper sailor with just 12 hours training and practice at Level One. If you've never set foot on a windsurfing board, then try the simulator before heading for the water. Courses are Royal Yachting Association (RYA) or British Canoe Union (BCU) approved.
