There's something about an adventure in the great outdoors that will make you feel like you made the most of the weekend.
Fresh air, exercise and a lot of fun is guaranteed if you head sailing and there are many places in Dublin and across Ireland to find your sea legs!
You can choose from either taking on a course to learn the ropes yourself or the easier option of letting someone else do the work for you - either way, you'll be feeling on top of the world come Monday!
Our top tips?
- Wear a high SPF
- Don't sail with a hangover
- Sit to the side of the boat if it's your first time
- Wear decent weather gear and shoes
- Bring something to eat as you'll definitely work up an appetite
- Don't forget your lifejacket
- Mind the boom!
