Full description
Take your first steps into the world of sailing! A half-day introductory course on the Latium coastline awaits you.
Starting from the Port of Rome, you will learn all the techniques and manoeuvres for sailing at sea, guided by an experienced instructor. Learn about winds, nomenclature, and gaits to best move your boat.
And if at the end of the day you would like to learn even more, you can always choose a complete course to become an expert sailor!
What we will do
We will meet at the port of Ostia (Rome), at the time indicated in the booking. After getting acquainted with our skipper and all the participants, we will begin our navigation.
In the first part of the lesson, leaving the harbour, we will sail along the Latium coastline doing some initial tacking tests, following the direction of the wind. The second part of the course, on the other hand, will take us to reverse course to discover the technique of tacking (with the wind behind us).
Sailing on the waves, throughout the lesson, we will learn not only the main navigation techniques, but also the names of the gaits, the wind rose and nomenclature.
We will return to the port of departure after a four-hour excursion.
