Sailing is a great activity to pursue. For one thing, there’s no comparison to the feeling you get when you feel the crisp breeze and water droplets brushing against your cheeks on a warm afternoon, or the relaxation you get when you watch the sun disappear into the water in the evening. But, while sailing is a great sport and a superb mode of recreation, first timers can find it a little difficult.

2. Sailing for first timers
• Sailing is a great activity to pursue.
• But, while sailing is a great sport and a superb mode of
recreation, first timers can find it a little difficult.
• Here are a few tips that can help you sail through your first
few experiences on water…literally!

3. Consider the Weather
• Learn sailing only when the weather is good and the water is
calm with no tidal lashings.
• Make sure the spot you choose to learn sailing is not dotted
with other boats.

4. Start Small
• Start by practicing on a small boat with a single sail.
• Smaller boats that have only one sail are easier to handle
than larger ones, especially with multiple sails.

5. Be Cautious
• Other boats on water won’t be aware of your ‘Learner’
status.
• You have to be cautious and alert. Steer clear of other boats
and swimmers.

6. Capsize!
• Weird as it may sound, experts advice that you capsize a
couple of times when you are learning to sail.
• There are chances that you’ll capsize during your boating
adventures and it is better that you learn to react correctly to
this even as you are learning to sail.
• It always easier to control a capsized boat and bring it back to
normal when the weather and waters are calm.

7. Follow Basic Safety Requirements
• Follow the basic safety requirements like carrying a life jacket,
an emergency whistle or horn with you.
• Finally, practice and practice till you are perfect.
• But, remember sailing is as unpredictable as the winds at the
waterfront, so gain experience, trust your instincts and enjoy
your day out sailing.
