A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO CHOOSING THE RIGHT BOAT
An Introduction
If you are thinking for the first time of joining the 3 million Britons who enjoy recreational boating, you probably have an idea about the kinds of fun on the water that your boat will provide. One of the terrific things about boating is that there are numerous different types of boats designed for different activities - and there truly is something for everyone.
