Sailing courses for children and teenagers
From the age of 6, from your first sailing experiences to your first regattas.
The LNI Sulcis Sailing School guides children and teenagers through the discovery of sailing, following a gradual learning path that combines practical skills, time on the water and fun.
No previous experience is necessary. Beginners start with the basics, learning about the boat, sails, wind and main sailing manoeuvres. Lessons alternate between preparation on land, theoretical explanations and practical exercises on the water, supported by our instructors.
Depending on age, experience and skill level, different boats are used, including Trident, Optimist, O’pen Skiff and RS Feva, as well as windsurfing equipment.
Our programmes include:
- Introductory sailing courses for beginners.
- Advanced courses for those wishing to improve their skills.
- Short courses and individual lessons, subject to availability.
- Pre-competitive training for those interested in discovering the world of regattas.
Regular summer courses generally run over five consecutive days, from Monday to Friday. The duration and timetable of on-water activities may vary depending on the programme and weather conditions.
Windsurfing courses
Balance, wind and freedom on the water.
Windsurfing offers a different way to discover the sea, learning how to handle the sail and board and make the most of the wind.
We offer activities both for beginners who want to try windsurfing for the first time and for those wishing to improve their technique. Programmes are arranged according to age, experience and availability.
Courses for children and teenagers include practical exercises on the water and preparation sessions on land. Lesson duration is determined according to the activity and sea conditions.
