New research by the RYA shows that a quarter of people have never tried an outdoor pursuit, yet two in four want to be more active and nearly a third want to get more fresh air.
The good news is there's never been a better time to get out on the water and give sailing and windsurfing a go. RYA Push the Boat Out is back and this time for the whole of May with free sailing and windsurfing taster sessions for everyone across the UK.

"We're delighted that Push the Boat Out is running for the whole of May," said RYA Director of Sport Development, Alistair Dickson.
"This year it will be bigger than ever before with almost 400 venues hosting events. So, if you're looking for something completely different to do with the family, a workout in the fresh air or perhaps to get back out on the water after having a break then pop down to your local sailing club or centre during May and 'Push the Boat Out'."
All kit and safety equipment is provided and no experience is needed. Refreshments will be available at many Push the Boat Out events with a host of shoreside activities and entertainment for visitors to enjoy.
If you didn't know you could go sailing on your doorstep, now's the time to give it a try!
