Sailing courses

We organise sailing courses for adults and teenagers in Nuottaniemi. You can start sailing at any age! We use ILCA (Laser) dinghies with a radial rig, Zoom8s and, depending on the course, also 606s with a crew of three. The course target is to teach the basics of sailing with a Laser or Zoom8. After the course, you can start sailing regularly at our club. We also tailor dinghy courses to companies and organisations.

Dinghy course

For whom

The course is intended for youngsters and adults interested in dinghy sailing. We use Laser dinghies with a radial rig. Participants must be able to swim, because it is not unheard of for dinghy sailors to fall into the sea.

What you will learn

During the beginner’s course, you will learn the basics, such as getting your boat ready for sailing, starting off from the shore, the basics skills of sailing, and returning to shore.

During the advanced course you will polish your sailing skills during the weekend. Each participant will have their own boat.

What’s included in the course?

The course takes two days. We’re on the water in the morning and afternoon, coming ashore in between for a short lunch break (provided by the participants themselves). We use Lasers and Zoom8s on the course.

Schedule:
Saturday: from 9 am until 5 pm
Sunday: from 9 am until 4 pm

The beginner course has 2 instructors. The advanced course has one instructor.  Instructors have passed the Finnish Sailing and Boating Federation’s boating course. Instruction language is Finnish and  English.

Terms and conditions of sailing courses and sailing camps

The sailing course and sailing camp is organised by Espoo Pursiseura (business ID: 1015253-4), hereinafter EPS.
Register for the course by filling in the details in the form and making the payment. You will receive confirmation in your email for the registration and payment. Registration is binding. Underage participants must be registered by their guardian, who will be responsible for the registration, correctness of information, and payments.

Participants must be able to swim. Any illnesses, injuries or other matters that may affect the training and participation must be discussed with a person in charge of the sailing course before registering. Participants on adults’ and young people’s courses must be insured against losses or injuries to themselves, others and any equipment.

Sailing course participants will be offered a dinghy and life jackets by EPS. If there are more participants than there are dinghies, the participants will take turns to use the dinghies.

On sailing camps, participants that are not EPS members must have their own sailing equipment.

Participants must have suitable clothing for any weather, including rain. As a rule, the participants will be at sea on every day of the course. If this is not possible owing to the weather, programme that supports the course targets will be organised on shore.
