Canoe Sailing
Canoe Sailing has a long history, with records of sailing canoes developed in Polynesia over a thousand years ago. In 1886 the American Canoe Association (ACA) and the British Royal Canoe Club (RCC) held the first international sailing regatta. Today, Canoe Sailing involves streamlined canoes that harness their power from large racing sails. Many clubs hold canoe sailing regattas, and canoe sailing also remains as a recreational sport.
