Burnham on Crouch is known around the world as a centre of excellence for sailing.
It has four yacht/sailing clubs, all of which offer facilities and training opportunities for people young and old.
Yacht owners are often looking for crews, especially during the summer racing season, and generally welcome people who want to help and learn how to sail at the same time.
And, as you can see below, there is plenty of opportunity to get on the water in a variety of ways.
