8. Number 8, sail with your m8:
When you hit the water organise to sail in a group or (at the very least) with someone else as even some of the most underdeveloped animals on the planet have managed to work out the simple principle of life that is safety in numbers! Preferably sail with one of your friends so you can really push each other’s sailing, keep a close eye on each other and have a good laugh whilst doing it.
