What does sailing mean to you? © Mark Jardine

Things feel pretty strange at the moment. We're going through unprecedented and tough times. Haven't we all dreamed about getting on a boat and sailing away from it all? Sailing is what keeps us going! Which is why we'd love to know - what does sailing mean to you?

It might be sailing with your family, it might be beating upwind in 30 knots. It might be the argy-bargy of the start line, or the tranquillity of cruising on a sunny day with a beer in hand. Whatever sailing means to you, we'd love to hear it. Tweet us @yandyfeed or @SailWorldNews using the #whatsailingmeans hashtag, email , send us an audio clip, make a video and send us the file, or upload it to Youtube and send us the link.

We'll be publishing the most inspiring and together we'll weather the storm!
