How do I start sailing? If you don't have a keen friend with a boat to teach you, the best option is to get in touch with your local RYA training centre. With over 2,500 RYA recognised training centres worldwide, and around 1,500 RYA affiliated sailing clubs, you're bound to find something near you.

Sailing is really very simple; a skilled instructor can teach you the basics in an afternoon. Most beginners shove off on their own after just a few days of lessons. Once you're sailing, you'll wonder why you waited so long to learn.

We'll run down some of the ways you can gain sailing experience here, even if you don't own a boat: Take a sailing course at your local ASA school. ... Take a “destination” sailing course through ASA. ... Go on a skippered or bareboat charter. ... Practice your sailing skills with a local club or school.

You can skipper a small boat near shore without experience and have fun learning. Wear a PFD, and strongly consider lessons, or just read up on it. Being a good swimmer would help. Crewing with an experienced skipper is probably an even better way to start down the road (sic) to going out to sea.

The best age to get started in youth sailing There are sailing kids who have been on boats from an early age, but most begin learning the basics of sailing between 7 and 10 years of age. However, plenty of adults are also learning how to sail, so you're never too old to learn.
