Would you like to try sailing? Come to an introductory sail with Teekkaripurjehtijat in Finnish on May 19, 20 and 22 and in English on May 19, 20 and 21. Sign up is done with the registration form which you can find below. Spots to the trip are filled in the order of registration.
These sailing trips are free and open to anyone, who is not yet a member of TRIP, with no previous sailing experience is required. Sailing trips start from Ruoholahti marina (Tammasaarenlaituri) usually around 5 PM. During the sail you will hoist the sails and your skipper will take you on a little loop around the Helsinki archipelago for a few hours. Docking at an island is also often included in the programme of the introductory sail, if time and weather allows. There’s space for 3-4 people on each trip.
What to I need to bring with me on the introductory sail?
It is good to bring light-soled shoes, some snacks, water bottle and lots of warm clothes to the introductory sailing. For example a long-sleeved jumper, windproof jacket, beanie and gloves are quite useful, even if it’s warm on land, since it’s always a little cooler on the sea. A raincoat and rain trousers may also be necessary even if it’s not raining when you leave the dock. Strong wind and waves can make the trip wet even on a sunny day.
