Can anyone sail? 
You do not need to be fit or able-bodied to sail, as there are such a variety of boats to cater for everyone. If you cannot swim, do not sail alone – just make sure your instructor or companion is aware. You will be provided with a Buoyancy Aid/Lifejacket.
Is sailing dangerous? 
Sailing has a very good safety record, and even racing the fastest boats, injuries are incredibly rare. Checking the weather forecast before launching makes it easy to stay as safe as you want to.
Will I feel sick? 
Some people may feel sea-sick if sailing a larger boat on the sea in waves, but in smaller boats it is very unlikely anyone will feel sick
Will it take a long time to learn? 
Like any new sport, sailing has strange new skills and terminology to learn. You can certainly spend a lifetime progressing to the highest levels, but after an hour most beginners can sail along happily.
Why do people like sailing? 
It’s fun! Sailing can made as fast and exciting as you like – or as gentle and relaxing as you like. Racing against others gives great competition, or you can use a boat to explore an area of water. You’ll also meet new friends, and maybe get fitter.
What else do I need to know? 
It is helpful to know the basic difference between a dinghy and a yacht: Dinghies are light boats between 2 to 4 meters long, for one or two people to fit in. They are meant to be taken out of the water after a day’s sailing. Yachts (also called keelboats) are bigger than this, and much heavier, which makes them more stable. They need several people on board, and are suitable for a short day sail, or a trip around the world.
