Vacations on a sailing yacht, a cruise in Turkey
A short introduction to sailing for complete beginners.
A course for aspiring skippers with some yachting experience and basic navigation and sailing skills.
This course is for beginners and those who would like to become active crew members rather than just passengers.
Theoretical lessons are conducted in our classrooms in St. Petersburg, as well as with instructors from partner schools. Students who have successfully passed the theoretical part can have practical training with our partners.
You will be taught the fundamentals of crewing such as knots, nautical terms, sail handling and helming, as well as how to “live” in the environment of a cruising yacht.
The course introduces the absolute beginner to sailing a cruising yacht. At the end of the 5 days, you will have become a competent (and confident) member of the crew.
This course is great for groups of friends or like-minded people to get together for a few days of fun sailing while learning skills to better help as crew onboard.
This course will be your first serious step into the world of yachting: yachting terminology in Russian and English; yacht structure; security basics; basics of navigation and yacht management.
