Sailing

Sailing is one of the most fascinating water sports of all time in Lignano Sabbiadoro. You can easily enjoy it here thanks to the numerous marine and sailing schools located along the beach.

In fact, sailing enthusiasts of all ages will find the ideal schools, rentals and stopping points for their sail boats in equipped areas just a few metres from the water in Lignano.

Everyone can enjoy sailing, including children starting at about 6-7 years of age in small boats; they learn how to relate with the sea and the wind while playing with the small trapezoidal sail of their boats. Furthermore, in recent years many social inclusion projects.

But what is the sport of sailing? First and foremost, it is essential to know how to swim to go sailing. Beyond that, there is no need for special skills or abilities to enjoy this sport as an amateur. Led by experienced instructors, during your adventure at sea you’ll learn sailing techniques, typical sailing jargon and about the different types of wind. Over time you’ll become good at interpreting the weather and sea conditions (which must always be taken into account to sail safely).

But above all, sailing teaches all those wanting to learn this wonderful sport something that goes beyond technical skills: by sailing, you learn to know and respect the marine environment, to know your limits, to collaborate with others and share experiences with the rest of the crew. In fact, on board sail boats a strong bond is created between the team members who learn to collaborate and help each other.

Sailing is therefore also a school of life that is also a wonderful way to spend some time during your summer holidays.
