Dinghy sailing is a fun sport and a great new skill the learn. Come to Björkholm in the Parainen archipelago to experience sailing for the first time and learn the basic sailing skills. Participants learn the essential sailing skills on shore on our simulator. After the theory lesson we go to open waters and you will experience sailing.
