  • Description

    Description

    We've been a non-profit sailing association since 1982, built on communal volunteer work.

    Our school holds sailing courses (dinghy boats, cruise boats, and windsurfs) for different levels: from summer weekly courses for beginners who never went on a boat before, up to winter offshore crossings for "seasoned" sailors. We're a crossroads between people and sea, and we share the desire to partake in different experiences, and enjoy nature.

    Our summer school is located in Golfo delle Saline, on the breathtaking northwest side of Sardinia island (Italy). Our sailing staff runs weekly courses, while ground staff helps with the daily issues of running a school as if it were a big shared sailboat.
    Join us if you want to bathe in our Mediterranean sun and explore the sailing world yourself!
