A joint youth sailing program run by the yacht and boat clubs of East Helsinki and Sipoo. Kids start at day camps of the Lasten Purjehduskoulu (Children's Sailing School), learning to handle Optimist and Zoom8 dinghies on their own, with some time on bigger keelboats. No experience is needed.
Summer means sailing almost daily from May to September; in winter, groups meet weekly for fitness and theory.
