Full description
That branch of Lake Como... where our sailing lesson takes place!
Get on board the "Spirito del Vento" boat and sail for more than 2 hours in the company of a professional skipper: learn the theoretical notions of sailing and immediately put them into practice by actively participating in life on board.
And when you return to port, enjoy a light lunch with your 'crew'!
What we will do
The appointment is 5 minutes before 09:30 at the meeting point in Parè di Valmadrera (LC). We will be welcomed by the skipper and sailing instructor who will accompany us on this adventure!
Once all participants have gathered, we will board the 9.40-metre sailing boat "Spirito del Vento". Anintroduction will then take place: the skipper will explain to us how to take part in life on board and will provide all useful information for the experience.
Ready to set sail, we will learn how to "trim the roadstead and the jib", i.e. we will learn how to open the sails to help start sailing. In the course of the experience, we will learn numerous theoretical notions of sailing that we can immediately put into practice by actively participating in life on board like a real crew. The more daring will even be able to try helming the boat!
During the navigation we will also be able to enjoy the panorama of Lake Como: we will pass Lecco, Malgrate and Abbadia Lariana; we will also admire Resegone, San Martino and Monte Moregallo reflected in the water. If the sky is clear, we might even catch a glimpse of the Swiss mountains on the horizon!
Finally, we will return to the meeting point, where we will anchor for a light lunch (included) served on board, consisting of a first course accompanied by water. The navigation will last 2 ½ hours; the experience will last a total of 3 hours.
