Capsize on purpose. May seem like one of the oddest beginner Sailing tips to suggest, but it’s better to practice how to handle a capsized sailboat within a controlled environment, as opposed to an uncontrolled one.

Become familiar with sail control. The best Sailor

Become familiar with sail control. The best Sailors are the ones who are able to adjust sail settings to take the best advantage of different wind and water conditions. In general, sails should be relatively flat when the wind is either very light or very strong, and full when there is a moderate wind.

“If just one family sees this and takes action to protect children on the water, then Emily’s Code will have succeeded and Emily’s name will live on. Something as easy as checking that your life jacket or buoyancy aid fits properly can save your life. So be smart and follow Emily’s Code.” #salcombedinghysailing #rya #hmcoastguard #britishwaterskiandwakeboard #emilyscode #rnli

The great thing about Sailing is that it means different things to different people; it can be fast and exciting, gentle and relaxing, or a bit of both. Whatever type you choose, there is the enjoyment and freedom of being out there on the water using nothing but the wind and your own skill to get you where you want to go.

Being on a boat requires that everything be kept in “shipshape.” After being exposed to this mentality, the other aspects of your life begin to reflect this standard. You will become more organised in your personal life, which will boost motivation to eat healthier, exercise more and increase your quality of life.

The swooshing and splashing of water, the rhythmic movement of the boat and the sound of the wind in the sails can all affect brainwave patterns. This relaxes and soothes a busy and highly stressed out mind.

Because many people today are chronic multi-Tasker’s, they should develop a deep sense of concentration. With the ultimate goal of staying safe while on board, Sailing enhances a person’s ability to focus even with multiple tasks at hand.

Being out on the water puts you in a good mood not just because of the calmness of the water but because of the salty air. The saltiness of the sea air is composed of charged ions that aid in the body’s oxygen absorption, which in turn balances serotonin levels. The more balanced your body’s serotonin levels are, the happier your going to be.
