There's an ever-growing pool of tough old fibre-glass boats and they're getting cheaper all the time. A budget boat is your passport to a world of discovery, family fun and adventure - and the best-value holidays you'll ever have. There really is no cheaper way to broaden your horizons, whether you want to sail in sociable company, explore our island coast and culture, or enjoy nature in the tranquil solitude of creeks, backwaters, mud-flats and salt-marshes inaccessible to the madding hordes.

RNLI - Why should I wear a life jacket?

The decision to wear a lifejacket is a personal one and the RNLI encourages people to wear them, and then decide when they want to take them off.

Here we give some of the background to some newly understood science which leads us to maintain that lifejackets are "useless unless worn".
