sailboating
Nautical canvas recreation
Sailboating is the activity of traveling or recreating in a boat propelled by sails.
The term covers everything from casual outings to competitive racing: We went sailboating on the lake.
Less common than the synonym sailing, sailboating emphasizes the vessel rather than the broader skill or sport.
