Weekly training groups 2026 (beginners)

Would you like to sail regularly and meet like-minded people? During the 2026 season, we will be organizing weekly training sessions at three different levels.
No previous experience is required to join the beginner group, but if you wish, you can accelerate your learning by also participating in a two-day beginner course. After the season, those who have participated in the beginner group will be able to sail independently and perform all roles on a sailboat. We will introduce you to special sails, such as spinnakers and gennakers. During the season, we will also focus on navigation, cruising, and harbor maneuvers.
Training sessions are mainly held on a 10.5-meter Archambault A35 boat and a 10-meter Finnfire 33 boat, which can accommodate 5-6 participants and a coach. During the season, we will also try out smaller boats so that the participants can gain as broad an understanding of sailing as possible.

Rainwear, gloves, and life jackets are available for loan during training sessions.
The coaches are Oliver Silén and Victor Silén.
