Sailstar

Our popular basic courses on a larger sailyacht are based in Viggbyholm, Täby and take us on a trip to the Stockholm archipelago. We live aboard, 4 days, 3 nights on our large and spacious 50 foot Beneteau 50 with seating for 6 participants. The boat has 5 cabins, a large lounge with kitchen and necessary security equipment.
The course gives you a lot of sailing but also maneuvering, docking and anchoring with larger boats. We also go through easier navigation and of course give-away rules (included in all our courses).
