Planning a sailing vacation in the Caribbean or Mediterranean? If you are, you or someone in your group may be asking how safe is sailing.
This is a valid question for the non sailor. This post clarifies and dispels some of the more common risks and fears.
The key questions we hear concern stability (ie. the chance of boats capsizing), piracy (ie. how safe the waters are), the chance of someone falling overboard, sharks, hurricanes (and other tropical storms), and boats getting lost.
In a nutshell we are here to dispel the fears. Simply by getting off the roads and onto a boat, you will actually reduce your risk.
