Why is sailing better suited to this than tennis or golf?

There are five reasons. Your child is alone in the boat and makes their own decisions in seconds. They learn to handle the uncontrollable, because wind and weather do not permit a standardised pitch. It demands head and body at the same time. It teaches respect for nature. And it combines individual responsibility with community. Sailing is the only living arena that breathes with the wind and never has the same layout twice.
