Learning to sail
A sailing lesson is instruction in operating a sailboat—learning to read the wind, handle the rigging, and navigate on water.
The term covers everything from beginner courses at summer camp to advanced racing technique: I'm taking sailing lessons this summer.
Like other compound phrases with "lesson," it names the subject being taught.
