When I came back I convinced my brother: let's go Formula 18 catamaran sailing. In 2004, when I was 17, I left Holland to work a season at the North of Lake Garda teaching sailing, catamaran sailing and windsurfing at a sailing school in Riva. I chose the Splash and he travelled to Europe. After the Optimist we took different paths. When me and my brother where 8 years old we started sailing Optimist. Sailing has been my passion from when I was a little girl my parents took me and my brother out sailing on their sailing boat. A short history about the sailing school: Limone Watersports With a 5 day or more course package, the VDWS book and diploma are included. Or you can let the captain do everything and you enjoy the wind blowing through your hair, the sun shining on your face and you see Limone from the lake perspective! You can choose to be active and sail the boat yourself. The joy of sailing in the most stunning surroundings is difficult to explain. Also disabled people can enjoy sailing with us. If you are an experience sailor you can even use the spinnaker on our K1 Topcat. There are no age limits and no physical limits. Do you want to go sailing with the whole family? Then renting a catamaran with or without captain will be the best. Also adults who are used to sail the laser love the splash. This dinghy reacts really light on the rudder and has amazing performance.

To make the experience even more fun and social for children we have the splash, a dinghy with enough place for 2 children.
#Topcat sailing how to#
Where an adult in the beginning has to think about how to steer the boat in a different direction, a child uses the helm as an extension of him/ herself and the boat goes where he/ she wants to go. They learn to play by the rules of the game, no sailing against the wind is possible but you can tack upwind. They explore the sensation of sailing a boat by using the wind. Catamaran and Dinghy sailing on Lake GArdaįrom as early as 6 years old children start sailing dinghies.
