WINDSPORTS

Sailing - the sport or activity of travelling across water in a sailing boat. The earliest representation of a ship under sail appears on a painted discfound in Kuwait dating between 5000 and 5500 BC. Although sailing as a means of transportation predates history, sport sailing—or yachting—seems to have originated in the 17th cent. in Holland. From there it was introduced into England (c.1660), and eventually spread to the American colonies. Then, as now, it was common for sport sailors to join together for social and recreational purposes in groups known as yacht clubs.
