Sailing courses for families
River Coghinas
Sailing courses for families at Valledoria in Sardinia
The natural area of Coghinas, situated only 2,5 miles far from our villas, homes and apartments, is a wonderful place to bring visitors to experience the local environment, to absorbe the emotions of nature, that will remain in the memory for a long time.
The mouth and the seaside in front of it are very suitable because of its characteristics; here the wind is present every day from quite breeze to strong wind from NW and NE.
The sailing school has three different kind of sailing dinghy from RS (England) a top brand on sailing school and performance boats: We start with RS Tera (2.85 mt, main sail) for children courses, to RS Feva (3.86 mt, main sail, jib, gennaker), up to 140 Kg. as single or double, to RS Vision (4.60 mt , main sail, jib, gennaker), up to 225 Kg. as double, or usable in four for sailing excursions.
One motor boat is even present for local assistance. 20 persons per hour is the maximum booking disposal of the school.
