- 1Plural of sailing.

Note
Only the countable uses of sailing take a plural, and in practice that means timetables. A sailing is one scheduled voyage of a ferry or ship, or one departure from port, so operators add, cancel or suspend sailings. The sport and the skill of navigation are mass nouns and rarely pluralize. The gerund of sail has no plural at all: people enjoy sailing, never sailings.
