We offer a regatta camp in the Optimist class. Optimist is one of the most popular single-player regatta classes around the world. At the same time, it is an excellent yacht for taking the first steps in sailing, and at the same time a sophisticated unit for sports competition in sailing (the system of competition for children and young people begins with Optimist). The camp is designed to teach you how to sail a yacht, with particular emphasis on the specificity of regatta technique and sports competition in sailing. Classes will be conducted by a qualified instructor. 🔹 CONDITIONS OF STAY: ⛺ 8/10-bed tents – with canopy bed and mattress 🚿 WC and showers – available in the corridor and in the resort 🍽️ Canteen – with delicious and homemade food Lifeguard 🏖️ beach and yacht mooring jetty ⛈️ In the event of a storm or thunderstorm – a safe place of shelter in the building is prepared
