Learn to sail during this (mid)week sailing training in May or June 2021 (date to be announced)
Learn to sail in a relaxed way (even better) during this late summer sailing holiday / course.
For whom?
Happy Sailing is organizing this late summer week especially for starting and average sailors. Depending on the weather, we will sail the IJsselmeer, Markermeer, the Frisian lakes and/or the Waddenzee. Perhaps also the North Sea if the weather permits and this is considered a good idea by all participants. We will moor in beautiful harbor towns such as Enkhuizen, Stavoren, Lemmer, Hindeloopen, Oude Schild and Terschelling West.
What can you expect?
During this pleasant sailing trip you will learn, for example:
- Sailing and steering the various courses (close to the wind, half wind, broad wind and downwind)
- Trimming the sails (mainsail and jib)
- Determine rates from the map
- Developing feeling when steering
- Getting familiar with a sailing yacht
- Sailing terms and important knots
- Sailing in various weather conditions
- Mooring and sailing in ports, locks and quays
- Possibly also night sailing (in consultation)
- Working together and making it a beautiful, atmospheric and instructive trip as a team!
