Schedule
The courses’ program runs each day from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The day begins and ends at the club’s Activity Center (Toimintakeskus). Instructors are present from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., so participants are welcome to arrive up to half an hour before the program starts and can be picked up up to half an hour after it ends.
Meals
Lunch and an afternoon snack are included in the course fee. We also recommend packing some extra snacks from home to complement the provided snack.
Equipment
During the course, we aim to spend as much time on the water as possible. Instructors plan the daily program according to the weather conditions, but camp days are not cancelled due to bad weather. Sailors should pack plenty of clothing suitable for different weather conditions, as well as several changes of clothes.
Safety
Each course has 3 to 7 sailing instructors, depending on the number of participants. All instructors are trained in safety procedures.
We take out accident insurance for sailing course participants. Insurance for any equipment, such a your phone, must be taken out by yourself.
