One of the great things about the sport of sailing is that just about anyone can learn how to do it. Young, and old, able-bodied and otherwise, as long as you can tell where the wind is coming from and have a way of monitoring your course, heading, control the sail and tiller, you can sail. You dont have to be a millionaire, the only requirements are wind, water, boat and enthusiasm. Although sailing can be physically demanding, most daysails are low-impact affairs.
