Weekly training groups

Do you want to practice regularly and get to know like-minded people? During the 2025 season, we will organize weekly training sessions for both beginners and intermediate sailors/those interested in racing. 

​

At the end of the season, those who participated in the beginner group can expect to be able to control the sailboat independently and know how to act in all the roles of the sailboat. We use the boat's special sails, such as the spinnaker, gennaker and Code Zero. During the season, we also focus on navigation and excursion sailing. 

​

The intermediate/racing group focuses on optimal trimming and steering of the boat, learn to read the wind as well as training for race situations. The racing group also participates in the Tuesday races organized on Tuesdays in front of Lauttasaari. The racing group will also take part in the Helsinki Tallinn Race, an offshore race through the night, on August 22-23.

 

Trainings are organized with a 10.59 meter Archambault A35 boat, which is suitable for 6 participants and a coach.  

​

Rainwear, gloves and life jackets can be borrowed during training.
