Philip Sandler of Chicago has learned from personal experience that getting started with boating and sailing is very different compared to other sports. For example, in basketball, you can start practicing moves on your own anywhere you want. You can then play on a basketball court, but still do it by yourself. Only once you feel that you are ready you can start interacting with other players. Other players in boating and sailing are wind and water. You simply can’t get good by just learning the theory. You need practical experience on the water.
This is why you absolutely need practical lessons from experienced sailors or boaters. Most boats that are longer than fifteen feet require a crew of more than one person. This means that you can join an experienced crew and learn from them. One of the best ways to get experience is to visit a local marina in person and talk to people. You may get invitations that will pleasantly surprise you. Another difference between boating and other sports is that in other sports the conditions are usually fixed. You can find an indoor basketball court that has no wind or rain and has the same air temperature twelve months a year. This is also impossible with boating. The conditions are always different and always changing. The wind changes strength and direction and influences the size and direction of the waves which is important for all the boaters including Philip Sandler Chicago. Comments are closed.
