Tips for Sailors


With the hot summer days in full swing, any excuse to get out on the water to beat the heat is a welcome one! Sailing is a great activity that we are so lucky to have easily accessible to us right here on the North Shore!

Just down the street from our clinic, the soft waves of Ambleside and Dundarave call out to avid sailors who are lucky enough to have grown up sailing in their own backyards!

Sailing is an invigorating sport that offers many rewards, not the least of which is that it’s simply so much fun. Imagine white sails billowing against a clear sky, the brisk feel of the breeze on your face, and the gentle motions of the boat as it cleanly slices through the water.
While sailing is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, it also requires you to be an active participant more than almost any other type of boating. It practically goes without saying that the active nature of sailing means that it can be terrific exercise for both you and any passengers who are inclined to help out. Sailing is a wonderfully active endeavor that can involve its share of physical work which is why it is so important to take proper steps to prevent injuries and maximize your time on the water! Vancouver summer's are far too short!!
