Holiday sailing courses for children

This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

In the sailing courses for children and young people, the little sea dogs (aged 7–15) learn to sail. The kids love it: they're together as a group during the sailing course and burst with pride when they've learnt something new. We introduce them to sailing in a playful way and let them try out lots of things. It's important to us that we don't overwhelm any child. Rather than expecting top performance, we want the children to enjoy learning to sail. They're divided into age-appropriate groups and sail dinghies or Optimists. Our qualified staff always keep the group safely around them — so parents can sit back and relax. Or even take a sailing course themselves at the same time!
In the children's sailing course, practical sailing is at the forefront. The necessary theory sessions are short, so we spend most of the time together on the water.

Who is this for?
The holiday sailing courses are aimed at children and young people aged 7 to 15. A prerequisite for taking part is that the children can swim safely for 15 minutes. They also need to be strong enough to hold the sheets — which is usually the case from the age of 7.

Schedule
The children's sailing course takes place Monday to Friday between 09:30 and 13:30.
On the last day of the course, the examination for the Junior or Segelgrundschein of the Verband deutscher Sportbootschulen takes place on request.

Notes
Anyone wishing to take the examination should bring a passport photograph at the start of the course. Please write the child's name on the back. Also to be brought along are a set of spare clothes and trainers with as smooth a sole as possible.
