Quite a few things missing in Delhi include absence of water sports, the link below got pointers to some of these places.

One thing missing is any central body or its just my alack of awareness towards it. In the name of a sailing club I did manage to find a phone number that i gave a try, but the number does not exist..So i will visit the place over the weekend.When Burt from NewZealand can travel the entire world to Bonsville in his quest to become the Fastest Indian.. so can we.

In the name of water sports another article found was as below :

Water Sports and Fishing

A multi-sports and leisure complex has been created by Delhi Tourism at Bhalswa lake, situated at Delhi’s northeastern edge. This offers facilities for boating in pedal boats, kayaks, canoes and speedboats. Keen anglers can also indulge in fishing. Hovercraft and water scooters have been introduced for the first time in Delhi at this lake. Pedal boats at reasonable rates are available at Hari Nagar, India Gate, Purana Qila, Prasad Nagar and Naini Lakes. Special training programmes in Kayaking and canoeing are organised at Prasad Nagar and Naini Lake.
