Full description
Learn to sail and spend a different day on the beaches ofArgentario, in the province of Grosseto. Experience the sea from a new perspective and discover a fascinating and fun sport.
Together with our experienced instructors, you will tackle theory and practice for a day entirely dedicated to sailing, where you will perform your first manoeuvres in complete safety.
What we will do
The appointment is at 9.30 am on the Giannella beach, between Orbetello and Porto Santo Stefano. We will be welcomed by the instructors and, after registering at the school and an acquaintance briefing, we will begin the day's sailing.
The groups will consist of students of the same level and the programme will be established according to everyone's needs. We will begin with a theory lesson, in which we will learn the basics of navigation and wind theory, which is fundamental in all sailing sports.
After that, you will board the dinghy to begin the practical part with a test of starts, gaits, tacking, gybes and changes of direction. All this and more can be covered during the course, depending on the experience and ability of the group. Groups will be formed according to the level and age of the participants.
In total, the course lasts 8 hours, including a 2-hour lunch break where we can all eat together at the beach restaurant at a reduced price (lunch is paid for by the participants).
