Sailing at the Island Games

Sailing is an event at the Island Games, the biennial multi-sports event for island nations, territories and dependencies.

Sailing at the Island Games was first introduced as a sport in 1995.

Sailboarding (or as it is sometimes called Windsurfing, which was only invented in 1948), started earlier, in 1993.

All the participants in the Games are surrounded by water (except Gibraltar), so water sports are attractive.
