Never! You can keep on sailing for as long as you want still having fun, just adjust the boat to suit your changing needs.

Frank Dye is still sailing his wayfarer round the coast of the great lakes, and he's almost 80! He did the US intracoastal waterway recently as well. Amazing Edited by Lucy Lee |

I can't think of any sport that covers such a range of age, physical ability, and general ability as sailing.

I had my shoulders operated and I can’t pull in ropes. What to do? And I like sailing.

The slow yacht class in our yacht club's open winter series was won by a boat helmed by an 82 year old. The Sonata that won the white fleet at Cowes a couple of years ago came 6th..... |

You could helm a 2 man boat and get your crew to hold the sheets-.
