Sailing

Sailing is the activity of using wind to propel a vessel, typically a sailboat or yacht, across water. It involves the manipulation of sails, which catch the wind, allowing the boat to move forward or sideways. Sailing encompasses various techniques, principles, and skills that relate to navigating and controlling the boat in different wind conditions and waterways. It can be undertaken for recreation, sport, or transportation and includes different styles and types of sailing, such as racing, cruising, and day sailing. The discipline also involves knowledge of weather patterns, tides, navigation, and the operation of sailing equipment.
