Is sailing physically hard?
Whilst sailing can be a physically demanding sport, don’t let that intimidate you – our beginner lessons are more about learning in a supportive environment with people working in a team at the same level as you. With proper preparation and training, sailors of all levels can enjoy the thrill of being out on the water. Sailing will help with your overall heart health, improve your balance, protect your joints and strengthen your bones. Pulling on the lines, hiking out the boat, manoeuvring the rudder and moving around the boat will all help to increase your muscle and core strength.
