RYA Go Sailing

This best‑selling, beautifully illustrated children’s book was the very first title in our hugely popular sailing series for young readers. Featuring a warm and inspiring foreword by Dame Ellen MacArthur, it introduces children aged 7–11 to the world of sailing in a fun, engaging, and informative way.

Designed in an easy‑to‑follow format, the book uses colourful illustrations and simple explanations to help young readers understand the basics of sailing while enjoying an exciting narrative. It’s the perfect blend of storytelling and learning—ideal for budding sailors, school libraries, and family collections.

This title is part of a wider series created to spark children’s interest in life on the water. Also available:

• RYA Go Cruising! – A young crew’s guide to sailing and motor cruisers
• RYA Go Inland! – A young person’s guide to the inland waterways
• RYA Go Windsurfing! – A practical windsurfing handbook for young people

Together, these books make a delightful and educational introduction to boating for children.
