: If it is meant to read "aimiez", the best rendering of apast idea here is the "used to + inf" construction - used to enjoy something but doesn't any more. Could be an inversion of the "m" and the "i", thus present and meant to say : "You enoy sailing"...

: Perfectly correct rendering of the original. Without more info here, impossible to know whether or not a misprint.

you like sailing/to sail
Most likely this is a typo for "vous aimez la voile" so should be the present tense

you liked to sail at one time
Assuming its not a typo for "aimez".
You can also flip it over: "at one time, you liked to sail".
There are obviously a lot of ways to say the same thing.
