Sailing
ListenSailing is the most successful Olympic sport in this country and Great Britain is the world’s top Olympic sailing nation.
Probably the quickest and easiest way to learn to sail is to start with dinghy sailing. Dinghies are small, easy to handle and generally light to launch and transport. Learn to sail on your own in a single handed dinghy or with a crew. You can potter about exploring your local stretch of water, join a sailing club full of like-minded people, or learn to race.
One of the great things about sailing is that you don’t have to be young, fit or related to a great sea faring family to quickly pick up the basics of this superb and highly diverse sport. Recent advances in equipment design and technology have made it more accessible than ever especially if you are trying it for the first time:
