Top 10 Famous People Sailing

What is it with our fascination with famous people sailing? Sometimes it seems as though America is obsessed with our celebrities and how they spend their free time. When one of them stops (or doesn’t stop) to pose for a picture on their yacht every now and then, we as sailors feel a certain connection with them. We must be interested too since we have our own board on Pinterest, affectionately titled, “Famous People Sailing“. I think we like it as sailors since we feel an added connection with someone once we find out they sail. takes a certain set of skills and meeting someone, anyone who has the same skills and interest as you humanizes them. It makes them more real and more interesting to get to know. That’s why we are so interested in meeting different sailors from around the world and learning about their own sailing experiences. We love hearing your stories here at Get Wet Sailing and what kind of adventures you have on the water.

Since I tend to be a visual person, that’s why I like Pinterest so much, I thought I would highlight some of my favorite celeb photos from our board. Below is  list of Top 10 Famous People Sailing. You might just be surprised by who you see has a passion for sailing.

    Number seven is Lauren Bacall not Grace Kelly. Thought you’d want to know.
