Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I can certainly use and adapt some of your ideas for our mob. One of the main drawbacks we have is that we a fairly small lake (35 acres) and except for one area near our slipway we are not allowed to land on the bank because that is reserved for fishermen - and the land makes more money from them than the sailors.

One game we have played which went down well was half filling with water a number of plastic milk bottles and scattering them up the lake. The sailors are divided into teams and then have to collect the bottles and return them to their team base ashore. The team collecting the most wins. By restricting each boat to only carrying one bottle at a time and having two or three times as many bottles as boats everyone gets involved no matter what their standard.
