Sailing is one of the best sports
Sailing is also really fun! 🌊⛵🌊
Sailing uses the wind acting on sails, wingsails or kites to propel a
craft forwards. Throughout history sailing has helped civilizations to
develop as people sailed across oceans to settle in new areas or trade
with others.
The earliest record of a ship under sail appears on an Egyptian vase
from about 3500 BC. Vikings sailed to North America around 1000 years
ago. Advances in sailing technology from the 15th century onward enabled
European explorers in Canada to make longer voyages into regions with
extreme weather and climatic conditions.
Sailing today is mostly done for recreation or sport. Sailing can be
very challenging due to the changeable and often harsh conditions
experienced at sea. Guidance and practice can help you to overcome these
challenges and enjoy the freedom and rewards of an activity that humans
have done for thousands of years. Why don't you?
