sailing can be surprisingly affordable if you are a little bit open (so long you don’t expect to do the millionaire’s kind of sailing).
Just head out to the local marina/yacht club and ask around. there’s almost always people out who have a yacht and who are willing to take a newbie on because they could use a set of hands. just be reliable, a good listener, and perhaps not toooooo clumsy.
You will learn sailing obviously. but a lot of secondary skills, too. such as tying knots (that someone already mentioned separately), reading weather, how to use a VHF, engine maintenance, navigation and more.
if you are curious, you can lurk around here !Sailing@lemmy.world or at the equivalent /r/ if you want legacy content to peruse.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !sailing@lemmy.world)
