10 sailing tips for newcomers

Don't wait, start now! Take advantage of an open day at a sailing school or sailing club.

Find a sailing school with qualified instructors that combines theory and practice.

Entry is possible at any time, individually and regardless of age. It is up to you when you start sailing!

Do you dream of yacht sailing? Start sailing on a dinghy! You'll have quick success there. The first car is not a truck either!

The learning curve has ups and downs because wind and weather can change quickly. Adapt yourself and don't give up! Keep practicing!

Short crash courses make less sense. If the weather conditions are variable, you will need to avoid frustration by taking a break.

You don't need expensive equipment or your own sailboat to get started, you can rent both in schools and clubs.

Are you unsure if sailing is something for you? Start with a basic course. The focus here is on practical experience.

Which licence will suit you best depends on the area where you want to sail. A suitable course is usually offered near the area.

If the sailing virus gets you, it won't let you go! Attention - sailing is addictive!
