Hi there, I have found this forum by complete accident just surfing round the web.
A good friend of mine has invited me for a week long yatch trip round the South Coast. He and his dad are experienced sailors and I am really keen on going. However, I have never done anything like this before and I am not a very strong swimmer either.
I just want to ask the experienced users of this forum about safety issues. Due to my lack of experience am I making a mistake by doing this? Should I make sure I am insured? Are accidents likely if you are a first timer?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can spare a moment to respond with any advice, or perhaps just a pointer to appropriate web sites for beginners that can give me info.
Cheers,
Samir
