Sailing is the art of using the wind to propel a boat or ship across water. It involves navigating and controlling the vessel using sails, which catch the wind and convert its energy into forward motion. Sailing can be a recreational activity, a competitive sport, or a means of transportation.
As a beginner, you will need basic sailing gear, including a life jacket, appropriate clothing for the weather, and non-slip shoes. If you do not have your own sailing equipment, our club provides boats and safety gear for members during training sessions.
