| Editor's Notes |
 | We, like you, love the water. We also take time out to look at watersports as a natural extension of what we encompass as a guide to property and yachting or, moreover, land and sea.

| Skipper's Tips |
 | While our skipper is at sea, we decided to hijack his column for our watersports issue to put forward some correlations between the older, more traditional tips of sailing (hmm...fighting words, David?) versus some newer, perhaps faster modes of transport.
