Our sailing school runs as a day school during five days. We start at 9 am and keep on until 4 pm. The students are divided into groups based on their level of knowledge and age. Our students are usally between 8 and 16 years old, but we have no upper limit.

 

We mix lectures and practice. A typical day looks like this: 

 

Morning

• Startup and presentation of the plan of the day

• Lecture in the group as a basis for the morning's sailing

• Sailing exercises

• Follow up of the sailing on shore with the group

Lunchbreak where we eat our own lunches brought from home. If it is hot, many of us might go for a swim.

 

Afternoon

• Lecture in the group as the basis for the afternoon's sailing

• Sailing exercises

• Sometimes a brake on shore and if it is too hot, a swim.

• Continued sailing exercises

• Follow up of the sailing on shore with the group. A small homework is assigned.

• It is not unusual that the sailors stay for a swim instead of going home...
