A sailing club founded in 1922, based on Särkkä, a small fortress island off Kaivopuisto next to Suomenlinna. Each summer it runs full-day sailing school courses for kids around 7 to 13, in Optimist and Zoom8 dinghies, with life jackets provided and swimming the only requirement. Kids who finish can keep going in the club's weekly junior training groups, May to September.
