About
Beginner dinghy sailing at HSS, a club on Liuskasaari island off Kaivopuisto, for kids who can swim and have never sailed. Kids learn to rig, launch and sail an Optimist on club boats, then move on to tacking, safe capsizing and a first playful race. Training continues through winter in a gym. Parents chip in too, with two volunteer days a year.
