About
A day sailing school on Särkkä, a fortress island next to Suomenlinna, reached by a short boat ride from Ullanlinna pier. Kids learn to sail the one-person Optimist dinghy, older ones can try the bigger Zoom8, and boating safety and shore play are mixed in. Kids must be able to swim; no experience or gear needed. It runs rain or shine, with sailing games ashore when it's too windy.
