Sailing

Britain has a strong tradition of seafaring, boating and sailing in all its various forms. You’ll find all types of sailing, from dinghies to yachts, are highly popular in Britain.

Sailing is possible in a number of locations all over Britain. There are, of course, a multitude of coastal possibilities, but lakes also provide excellent spots for racing, learning and enjoying this sport.

You’ll find specific information well worth a visit on the Sailing in Scotland ( sail.visitscotland.com/) website.

Otherwise, a great source of information on sailing all over Britain is the Royal Yachting Association (www.rya.org.uk/). They provide details of places to sail or charter a boat and information on training centres.
