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
