Sailing is the art of controlling a sailing vessel. By changing the rigging, rudder and dagger or centre board, a sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails in order to change the direction and speed of a boat. Mastery of the skill requires experience in varying wind and sea conditions, as well as knowledge concerning sailboats.
Sailing is very popular in Gran Canaria, largely due to the island’s perfect climate and the predominant winds.
Sailing schools in the South of the island are offering sailing lesson packages and hourly lessons, with the possibility to earn international Sailing Certifications.
