Sailing

Sailing is one of the most ancient ways of navigation. So far it has been a symbol of prestige and high class and has been available in the world's most elite universities, including Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge and Brown.

In sports terms it enables people at different ages to experience the magic and beauty of the sea, maintaining good physical shape and developing a sense of balance and teamwork. Mastering the wind and the ability to navigate a sailing boat in the direction you choose is a challenge that requires synchronization and work from everyone on board.
