Sailing

  • Sailing should only be practiced if you are a confident swimmer
  • The best way to get involved in sailing is through a club where you can get full tuition from qualified instructors
  • The easiest way to start learning to sail is by beginning with a small boat such as a dinghy or even through windsurfing. Once you have mastered the basic steering techniques you can then progress to larger vessels
  • You can go sailing on lakes and the open sea
  • Sailing can be done alone or in teams known as crews
  • In competitions, the aim is to battle the weather and the sea and beat everybody else in the race
