This experience, in a nutshell

The Archipelago Sport course, in addition to providing the basics of sailing, is oriented towards recreation and knowledge of the marine area of the Piombino channel and the Island of Elba and is aimed at people with any level of sailing experience. Access to the course does not require pre-requisites.

TOPICS COVERED
Wind rose, seafaring knots, fundamental concepts such as windward, leeward, luffing, laying, approaching, use and adjustments of mainsail and jib, tack in the bow, choice of edges, drift, tack downwind, real wind, apparent wind and gust, start and finish at the buoy, cream and hood, recovery of the man overboard. The sails used range from jib and mainsail to gennaker and spinnaker.

The dedication and experience of the instructors will make this experience unforgettable

Learn to sail in a week in the Tuscan Archipelago

I was really looking forward to the sailing week in advance and my expectations were fully met. We sailed around the island of Elba, spent the night in beautiful bays, jumped directly from the ship into the sea, snorkeled on rocks and cooked together on board in the evening. A special highlight was that we caught fresh fish and cooked it the same evening. We saw dolphins jumping out of the water. On the island of Elba we were able to discover the landscapes and eat fine fish. The sunrises and sunsets were fantastic, and also to feel the stormy wind on your skin as well as the high waves breaking on the rocks was an impressive experience. Equally unforgettable was the clear starry sky over the sea. The ship was very well equipped with running water, electricity and comfortable beds in which you were gently lulled to sleep by the rocking of the sea. I would like to highlight our skipper Marco. He knows the island of Elba very well, always knew the best places to stay, had a sure sense of weather and waves and always made the right decisions for the entire crew. We learned a lot from him, about sailing, about wind and weather, about nature, history, technology and also about ourselves and the people on board. All in all, it was a great experience. I am very happy, full of beautiful memories and would sail again at any time.

I have just finished a week of sailing course and it was a truly unique and enriching experience. I sincerely thank the sailing school for the opportunity and for the impeccable organization: I learned a lot, having fun and experiencing the sea in a new and authentic way. A special thanks also to our instructor Marco, for the professionalism, patience and passion with which he guided us, transmitting not only technical skills but also the love for sailing. An experience that I recommend to everyone and that I will take with me with great enthusiasm!

Great Stephen, regatta course in the pouring rain with sea formed and "barrel" from 30 knots of wind. I believe that only in this way can we really learn to navigate. All this always and in any case in safety and under his supervision. Thanks also to Germano who guided us for the regatta we did the next day (this time under the sun). Great staff
