A Brief History of Sailing. Contents: Standard. Next» Traditional Navigation. Easy Version. Listen to this page. People have been harnessing the power of the wind to sail for thousands of years. Sailing uses the wind acting on sails, wingsails or kites to propel a craft forwards. The earliest record of a ship under sail appears on an Egyptian vase from about BC. Vikings sailed to North America around years ago. Advances in sailing technology from the 15th century onward enabled European explorers in Canada to make longer voyages into regions with extreme weather and climatic conditions.
A family working together to make a boat efficiently bound over the waves is nothing short of nourishing. There is time. Time to teach, time to joke, time to know each other better. Reminding kids that this thing is kind of unbelievable might broaden their curiosity and encourage them to look at other systems and become better critical thinkers.
Adventure Instilling a sense of adventure in a young person is an important seed to plant. Sailboats are safe, but they are also a ticket to the wild unknown.
Where would we end up? This is also why a lot of white noise machines that help people sleep have the option to play simulated sounds of the ocean or a rushing river. In addition to all of these, sailing is also a peaceful and quiet sport that you can enjoy in full privacy and isolation. Being alone with nothing but the sun, sand, and sea is sure to help you mentally refresh from the stresses of your daily life. One of the ultimate goals of sailing is to keep the boat afloat and cruising smoothly on the water.
Doing this requires monitoring various aspects of the weather like wind pattern, while you steer the boat and keep an eye on the gauges. In this way, sailing can help also improve your focus and concentration, making you pay attention to the smallest details. This mental training comes in handy for those who need to multitask in their day-to-day lives.
This, in turn, can help reduce your stress levels and soothe your mind. Handling a boat needs spatial awareness. That is, you need to quickly estimate how much space a boat requires so that you can manoeuvre it without coming into contact with other things — a skill that is especially useful when you are berthing a boat in a marina.
