After purchasing your boat, the next sensible step would be to insure it against the usual hazards of owning a boat which include damage, sinking, collision, theft etc, along with third party insurance especially if your boat is to be moored in a marina or harbour. You will also find guidance and links on boat insurance within the Boat Insurance section. Remember that insurance on a boat is not a legal requirement, unlike car insurance, though it may be required if you have any form of marine finance.

Most of day sailors (or even weekend sailors) will never really need navigational skills in order to be able to sail where they want. They will probably see the place right over the bow. People who sail further in the oceans, seas, and even on the Great Lakes of North America will - in turn - not get far without even the most elementary knowledge of how to find themselves on the charts, and where to sail next. As a matter of fact, they will sail far, very far - but from the course leading them to their port of destination.
