Full description
Is the power of the wind more powerful or that of a burgeoning passion ?
If sailing and handling the currents is what you want to learn, then this 2-hour Lake Garda course is what will make you fall in love with this discipline! Together with an instructor in Campione del Garda, you will acquire the basic principles of this fascinating water sport.
At the end of the course you will have enough knowledge to start sailing independently (and perhaps an answer to your first question)!
What we will do
The appointment is in Campione del Garda (BS), 10 minutes before the time indicated in the booking. We will be welcomed by a sailing instructor who will follow us throughout the course, which will take place in the afternoon.
Lessons will be held from 14:00 to 16:00 in small groups of a maximum of 10 participants. Depending on the number of participants, the lesson can take place on a single boat, a 2- or 3-person boat, a catamaran or a cabin cruiser.
The backdrop to our course will be the beautiful setting of Lake Garda, along the Brescia shore. During the lesson we will be taught the basic principles of sailing, how to handle the rudder and the various controls in relation to the strength of the wind. We will do atheoretical introduction ashore, and then we will all board the instructor's boat and start putting into practice what we have learned.
We will then return to the meeting point, where we will be offered an aperitif at the sailing school restaurant. The course will last about 2 hours in total .
Who it is aimed at
The course is suitable for everyone from the age of 8. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
