Cultivating new sailors

Article Abstract:

Sailing enthusiasts can help promote the sport by introducing it to other people. One way of doing this is by inviting others onboard for a club race or fun ride. To win the interest of newcomers, host sailors should see to it that their guests understand the basics of sailing, are comfortable and enjoy the event.
