Words like "sailing, shopping, swimming' are activities... and are known as grounds (nouns) so we say I am going shopping. I am going sailing. To sail is a verb, so we say I am going to sail. I am going to shop. I am going to swim.

For 1 "going to sailing" is wrong. You can say "going to sail" or "going sailing" or "going to go sailing". I would say that the first is more "active".
