Sailing is an activity that I participate in with my family over the weekends. We have races on either Saturday and Sunday. Sailing is a very competitive sport. There’s never a dull moment. You always try to make the boat go faster. Every second count. Over the weekend, there were 2 boats in my class which is called trimarans and we beat them by 15 seconds. If you arent focused it could cost you the first place. Out racing, you always communicate with your team members. You always have to be aware of what is happening on the boat and with the others so you can plan your next move. With a good team, it also makes the race more enjoyable. It can be very tiring and very easy to lose concentration when there is no wind and you are baking in the hot sun. Having perseverance is also very important.
