Sailstar Basic Sailing Course – 3 Days (Seglarintyg 1)

Discover the thrill of sailing with Sailstar! In four immersive and inspiring days, you’ll learn the essentials of sailing from Viggbyholm in Täby, north of Stockholm. Together, we’ll navigate aboard our brand-new Aira 22 sailboats and cover all the fundamentals of sailing.

What’s Included in the Course?

• Fundamental sailing techniques: points of sail, tacking, jibing, downwind sailing, understanding wind directions, and weather conditions.
• Practical skills: sail setting, sail care, maneuvering, docking, and anchoring.
• Safety and seamanship: right-of-way rules, sailing terminology, and more!

The course covers all knowledge to achieve the Seglarintyg 1 (Sailing Certificate level 1) but to achieve this certificate you need to make the test at another opportunity for the cost of 350 kr. The Seglarintyg 1 however is totally optional.
