How to Holiday from Home

March 30, 2021
RS Quest

Congratulations! You’ve made it to the almost end of a global pandemic! How are you going to celebrate? Here’s a genuine and totally plausible idea for a family holiday alternative…

 

What are we talking about?

This last year has been a challenge for many, we’ve overcome BIG challenges and changed the way we live our lives. Many of us have become accustom to ‘lockdown life’ and doing everything we can to escape the repetitiousness of our routines. We owe it to ourselves to have that sense of freedom, create the perfect opportunity to still have a wonderful summer that we all deserve and explore our very own waters, after all we’ve all seen how beautiful our local area can be is this year haven’t we? And since walking has become a little wearisome – why not try something more adventurous?

 

We owe it to ourselves…

We’ve realised that we don’t need to spend thousands of pounds every year going away just to be on the beach and get some vitamin D, we’ve discovered some of Europe’s hidden gems and want to explore more on the water! Tell us if you want to hear our ‘Top 10 Places to Sail in the Europe’! Investing in one of our boats will give you a lifetime of incredible and memorable experiences! We’ve all learnt something new since the beginning of the pandemic, so why stop now? We can’t really go on holiday at the moment and even when we can, it won’t be the same for a good few years to come, but we still want to experience something exhilarant, out of the ordinary and share memories with our families and friends.

 

What are we suggesting?

At RS Sailing, we’ve got the solution for you! We build boats which are great value and designed with families in mind. We recommend the RS Quest or RS Venture which are spacious, have simple layouts, are remarkably stable platforms and can be handled by all levels of experience. They are quick to rig and pack away, easily manoeuvrable on the shore and give your family and friends the opportunity to learn a new skill!We love our boats because you can set sail in the morning, learn some new skills and techniques and can drop the anchor at lunch for a homemade picnic – picture this: sunny day, sunbathing on the front, the smell of sun cream and the sound of the waves, your friends and family giggling, some refreshing juice and a tabouleh to compliment a memorable moment knowing that you got yourself there. What the hell – jump into the water and energise!

Could you think of anything better? The best part is, if you’re feeling lethargic these can all have outboard motors fitted so you can cruise your way back into the harbour feeling fulfilled and relaxed. Light that BBQ, crack open a cold one and watch the sunset with your family and friends to end a wholesome day. If you have a tow bar, even better – drive it to all those scenic spots you’ve seen on Instagram over the last year that you’ve longed explore and travel to.

With the summer quickly approaching, now is your opportunity to try a explore closer to home and potentially teach yourself and your family a new set of skills to use for many years to come! Click to check out our family boat collection!
