Sailing is a great adventure sport that has been in existence in the city of Chennai (formerly known as Madras) for many decades but only for those who have access to premier clubs. In the year 2002 a small group of sailing aficionados formed the Tamil Nadu Sailing Association with the sole aim of making this sport accessible to all and to create champions in this sport so that they may represent our state of Tamil Nadu and India in the international arena to bring glory to our state and our country.
As an adventure sport, sailing is fast growing in India. It is in the very nature of all humans to seek recreation and to satisfy our need for excitement and thrill. For total physical and mental gratification it is a sport that is like no other. To ride the waves is a heady feeling that all sailors remember with a special longing. An exercise where the forces of nature - the wind and waves, challenge human skill and endurance for mastery over a boat, this environment-friendly adventure sport is the very metaphor for the complexities of life.
Tamil Nadu Sailing Association is a not-for-profit, non-political and non-sectarian association based in Chennai, India and its aim is to foster, encourage and train people in the sport of Sailing and allied Water Sports. The objective also includes building fraternal relations with other Yacht Clubs and Sailing Association in India and abroad.
