Want to feel what sailing is like before you decide? Two hours, no commitment and an experienced instructor in the boat – that's all it takes.
2026 was our most popular taster season ever, with more than 125 participants. During a relaxed evening on Stora Värtan you get to try steering the boat, trimming the sails and feeling the wind take hold – no previous experience required.
Everyone gets to try everything: the helm, the sheets and the feeling of speed. This isn't a course, just a taster – a chance to see how it feels before you decide on the next step.
New for 2027: As well as weekday evenings, we now run taster sessions at weekends too – same format, more dates to choose from.
