About the courses
The sailing course gives you the skills to work as a crew member on a sailboat and is therefore ideal for the beginner sailor. Also for someone who needs more confidence to operate a boat or help with the sailing terminology. The sailing course teaches seamanship, sailing and boat handling. No previous knowledge or skills in sailing and navigation are required. The course consists of a theory day (8h) and sailing days/nights (24h active sailing in total)
The inshore skipper course
focuses on departure and arrival preparations, maneuvering under sail and engine, mooring techniques, skipper fundamentals, navigation, route planning, and safety procedures. To enroll, you must have successfully completed Navigation 1 (or an equivalent course) and logged at least 100 nautical miles as a crew member. However, prior skippering experience is not required. The course consists of two theory lessons (8h in total) and sailing days/nights (24h active sailing in total).
Both courses will be offered in Finnish and English in spring and autumn 2026. More information and the schedules will be updated during week 12. Info will be added to this website, email and in Trips Instagram.
