My approach is to involve you from the beginning into the sailing independent of if you are experienced or not
I want to introduce you to the beauty of the sport with low hurdles
No memberships ,lengthy meetings and very reasonable costs,
the experience is a combination of a social and culinary as well as active event and you get great photographs as a memory of the event including portraits that I do myself upon request and with prior consent
Sailing usually starts from Romanshorn on a 37 feet sailboat suited for around 8 persons
We sail in dry weather only
Sailing :The wind is hard to forecast prepare for the fact that they may be no wind , wind predictions aren't working most times there are local thermical winds ...embrace the fact that the boat outings are a fun time socializing ,swimming , drinking some prosecco ,taking sunset pictures and if it's windy ,that's a bonus!
Important info for new joiners.
Please be on location 10 minutes before the advertised time. Thank you in advance.

What to bring :
Please bring your own water. Dress according to the temperatures. We recommend multiple layers and a jacket against wind/rain. Outdoor/ hiking wear is usually just right. Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses etc. Bring a towel for backup and dry of seats. There's a bathing ladder so if you want to have a refreshing dive into the lake bring bathing clothes. Gloves can be handy, don't have to be sailing gloves bicycle or fitness gloves are OK.
Cost for boat rental and skipper is distributed between the participants
Approximately 60 - 120 CHF per person and trip depending on number of participants and hours on the boat
Weather and cancelation
We always go out also if there is no wind in the forecast
The wind is hard to forecast and sailing is possible also with low wind
We also swim from the boat if conditions allow and the skipper usually brings some free beers and wine and snacks on board if convenient
The event will be canceled in case of constant rain and or thunderstorms.
In case you can not make it, I expect your cancelation as early as possible but at the least 1 day before to give other members a fair chance to jump on board.
