It gives a sense of community

It gives a sense of community because you meet different people from all walks of life and different circumstances. And I think one of the things I explain to people, if I'm trying to encourage them to come along is, you're all in the same boat, and it is a cliche, but when you're sailing, you are there in the same boat. And you have to deal with that situation, whoever is in there at that time. But what I get from it is fundamentally, I go sailing for free, in the sense that I give up my time, and help other people to learn how to sail.
