New to sailing? Start here.

Sailing is freedom powered by wind — and it’s open to everyone.

You don’t need experience, your own boat, or a maritime background to begin.
From dinghy sailing and youth racing to coastal cruising, offshore passages, windsurfing, foiling, classic yachts and superyachts – there’s a style of sailing for every age, ambition and budget. You can learn through local clubs, sailing schools, community programmes or simply try a discovery day on the water.
World Sailing Day connects you to trusted pathways to get started — and invites you to feel what it’s like to move forward by wind alone.
