Boating
About :
Boating is the leisurely activity of
travelling by boat, or the recreational
use of a boat whether powerboats, sailboats,
or man-powered vessels (such as rowing and paddle
boats), focused on the travel itself, as well
as sports activities, such as fishing
or waterskiing. It is a popular activity,
and there are millions of boaters worldwide.
Types of Boating
Recreational boats (sometimes called pleasure craft, especially for less sporting activities) fall into several broad categories, and additional subcategories. Broad categories include dinghies, paddlesports boats, runabouts, daysailers , cruisers, and cruising and racing sailboats.
Anchoring
Anchoring a boat is essential to recreational boaters by giving them the ability to park their boat in the water. Anchoring is helpful to boaters who fish or swim off of their boat and provides a stable and established site to achieve whatever activity is being done.
Safety
Since it is a recreational activity, most boating is done in calm protected waters and during good weather. Even so, conditions can change rapidly, and a small vessel can get into life-threatening difficulties.
