Sailing and Windsurfing

When some families have time off, they go for a sail. The grander name for sailing is "yachting", but many boats are too small to be called a yacht. During the summer the river mouths and small harbours around the coast of Britain are crowded with yachts and sailing-boats of all kinds.
Windsurfing is one of the newest and most exciting of the windsports. The windsurfer steers the 3.66 metre surfboard by holding onto the pole and leaning out against the force of the wind in the sail. It is a fast sport.
