About
A sailing club founded in 1925, with its own harbor on Pyysaari island. Its Kids' Sailing School runs summer day camps where beginners and kids with some experience learn to handle an Optimist or Zoom8 dinghy on their own.
Instructors are trained youth coaches, many of them former junior sailors. Kids who finish a camp can keep going in the club's weekly practices and, later, racing groups.
