Getting children involved

We have two girls aged 8 and 11. We spend most weekends staying on board and most nights tied up at marina.

Our girls find ways to occupy themselves when tied up but often seem bored while sailing. Last weekend they enjoyed building card castles down below while we were in a race (not much wind)... they really enjoyed that.

I wish to have them participate more in the actual sailing and in the actual enjoyment of sailing. Any thoughts on good ways to make this a more fun experience for kids?

Thanks,

Mike
