**Basic course, large sailboat — 6 days in the Stockholm Archipelago

Six days on board in the archipelago -- that's no ordinary course. It's a mini vacation where you learn to sail for real, in real conditions, around the clock.

You have time to feel life on board at a pace that four days does not provide. Morning fog, midday wind, natural harbours, night sailing. Every day brings new experience -- and new self-esteem at the helm.

**What you practice: **

  • Maneuvering and sailing in open water and narrow waterways
  • Port manoeuvring — one of the most appreciated parts
  • Navigation and safety in practice
  • Anchor life in natural harbour and sailing in the dark

You live on board throughout the course, cook at sea and live in the rhythm of sailing from morning to evening. It's the fastest way to actually become a sailor.

**The course suits you as: **

  • Want more time and depth than a 4-day course provides
  • Dreaming of being able to rent or buy your own sailboat
  • Want to combine education with a real archipelago experience

In English too The course is also given in English -- Basic Sailing Course, Large Yacht -- with participants from all over the world.
