An actuation system (10) for actuating actuators in a sailboat (100) comprises, on board the sailboat (100): one or more driving elements (12), operable by crew operators; one or more actuators (20), configured to be driven by the driving elements (12), wherein the driving elements (12) are provided with a respective primary electric motor (16) and the actuators (20) are provided with a respective secondary electric motor (24). The system is further provided with an electrical circuit (18) configured to electrically couple the primary (16) and secondary (24) electric motors, the primary electric motor (16) being configured to transform a driving motion of the respective driving element (12) into electric energy in the electrical circuit (18); and the secondary electric motor (24) being configured to transform electric energy in the electrical circuit (18) into an actuating motion of the respective actuator (20). The actuation system can also be associated with energy recovery functions.
