How can I include my sailing experience in my General Resume?

I have been sailing for over 5 years on Lake Huron. I have done countless buoy races and several long distances races, including 3 from Port Huron to Mackinac. As any long-time sailor knows, this activity builds character and teamwork skills. I would like to include these assets in my general resume, but am having trouble doing it in a way that is both concise and detailed. Please help. When life gets windy, reef the sails, tighten the lines and get ready to smile.

1. Does not belong on a resume unless you are apply to a Mariner
2. I have been competitivly sailing on Lake Eire for 24 years... I've done the Port Huron to Mackinac race myself. Yes, sailing does build character and teamwork skills.... But none of that belongs on a resume. A resume should be no more than 1 page long. It should include a breif Objective, your employment history, your educational background, and any certifications you have earned. If you still have room left on that one page after all of that to list your hobbies, then you need to go back and put more detail in about your work history.
