Full description
Get ready to feel part of a crew by taking part in our introductory sailing lesson: a CONI instructor will teach you theoretical and practical notions, experiencing life on board a sailing boat off the coast of Marina di Carrara.
A 3-hour experience that will end with an aperitif for the whole 'crew'!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you at the selected time at the meeting point in Marina di Carrara (MS). I am the skipper and your CONI instructor on this day, and I will welcome you on board my sailing boat!
The boat is the Dufour 44 Performance sailing boat, 14 metres long; it is equipped with 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with showers, an outdoor shower, a large sundeck at the bow, and a shaded area. But you who have chosen to participate in this sailing lesson will be interested in more rigging and sails such as an oversized mast, batten mainsail, furling jib and gennaker.
Once all passengers have finished boarding, we will set sail in the direction of the Cetacean Sanctuary or the Gulf of Poets. During the course of the sailing trip, we will hold a theory lesson, giving you all the useful information about knots, gaits and winds, and a practical lesson to let you experience life on board.
Once offshore, there will also be the possibility of a swim stop using the snorkelling mask provided to greet the inhabitants of the seabed. An aperitif (included) of snacks and drinks will also be served on board to toast the skippers of the future!
We will finally return to the rendezvous point, for a total experience lasting 3 hours.
