Full description
If you want to avoid the Sunday family lunch and dedicate your weekend to a much more engaging activity, this sailing lesson in the province of Rome is for you!
Spend a day in the company of a sailing instructor who, through theory and practice, will teach you how to be a conscious member of a crew!
What we will do
We will meet at the meeting point in Santa Marinella (RM), where we will meet our sailing instructor.
After an initial welcome, we will begin the lesson with atheoretical introduction lasting about 30 minutes, during which we will learn how to rig a sailboat independently and the useful nomenclature.
Then, following the 'learning by doing' method, we will move on to practice, boarding the boat, an F24 sailboat suitable for teaching purposes, and go out to sea. For the rest of the morning, we will be part of a crew and play different roles to discover all aspects of sailing.
For example, we will be taught to sail at all gaits, to recognise wind direction, and to tack fore and aft.
At the end of the lesson, we will have a lunch break of about an hour, during which everyone will organise themselves independently and according to their own preferences.
In the afternoon, we will focus again on theory with a brief review of the concepts learned in the morning. Then we will return to the sea and continue practising until the end of the experience, at the end of which we will know how to be active and aware members of a crew.
The activity will last a total of 7 hours.
