Sailing

On Water

Sailing is a water-based activity that involves navigating a boat using wind power and sails. It can be relaxing or adventurous, depending on conditions and skill level. Sailors use wind direction, sail position, and steering techniques to move across lakes, rivers, or open seas. Sailing can range from peaceful coastal cruising or multi-day sea voyages, offering a unique way to explore the water and enjoy nature.
