No prior experience is required, just an interest in sailing.

NFB Official: to be able to control a small sailing boat in sheltered waters in good weather, and to have an understanding of the boat as well as fundamental sailing maneuvers on calm seas.

Our take: to be able to control a small sailing boat with help of a crew (which can be friends/family) in sheltered waters & good conditions.

After the course, you will have the possibility to do an examination for the inshore yachtman's diploma step 1 (Seglarintyg 1) with us.

Just like the first beginner course, this one also focuses on the certificate requirements of the inshore yachtman's diploma step 1 (Seglarintyg 1). On top of this, we have added topics which we believe are essential for anybody who is serious about starting their own trips. From navigation & sea markers to mooring & anchoring. You will also have more time to practice and build confidence in controlling the boat compared to our first beginner course.
