But a recent study found some additional, unexpected benefits to boat ownership. Boaters express a greater degree of satisfaction in several key areas of life than their non-boating counterparts, according to a survey conducted by Discover Boating and Russell Research. Boaters rated better in physical fitness and overall health, leadership abilities, the performance of their children in school and even their love lives. “Spending time with your family and friends aboard a boat is one of life’s most pleasurable pursuits, and now there's data that indicates boating's benefits stay with you long after the experience is over,” said Pepper Schwartz, a sociologist and relationship expert. The survey, which polled more than 1,000 boaters and non-boaters, found that the perks of boating extend beyond the docks. Boaters expressed greater satisfaction with their physical fitness and overall health, as well as those of their children. The number of outdoor activities boaters enjoy once they set sail, such as fishing, scuba diving and wakeboarding, may be one reason why boaters are more pleased with their active lifestyles than those who remain landlocked. Taking the helm and assuming the role of captain may also foster leadership qualities that stay with a boater. Boaters said they were more satisfied with their leadership abilities at work and among their friends than nonboaters. ■ 1171 110th St, New Richmond, WI 54017 715-246-5325 Boats 17-ft to 80-ft Ted Gates 651-269-6434 Check out the great listings at: Booth # 64 Minneapolis Boat Show www.imageyachtsales.com WATERGATE MARINE SALES See the new 2008 37 Holiday Mansion at the St. Paul Boat Show Feb 7-10th!
