Sailing, also known as Yachting, is probably the only sport in Asian Games 2006 that is open to participants of all ages. This is due to the fact that the sport does not demand great physical exercise. Sailing only involves the wind-generated movement of a boat across a water body.
In Doha, venue for 15th Asian Games, the Corniche Bay, one of the premier tourist attractions of Doha will host the Sailing competitions.
Boats used in Sailing competitions come in a variety of sizes. Sailors can use anything from dinghies to catamarans. Wind is the only source that powers the movement of the boat that is supposed to sail across a marked course.
At the Doha Asian Games, there are various categories in Sailing open to male and female individuals and mixed teams.
Sailing has been a regular feature of the Asian Games since its Bangkok 1990 edition.
