Sailing School

Sail First - previously Sea Lady Sailing

Courses of Sail First follow the authorized training system of Pory - The Association of Sailing Instructors in Finland

Our instructors are authorized by Pory.

Our sailing school's activities include organizing sailing courses and trips , as well as possible charter sailings..

Intensive courses (without an overnight stay on the boat) are mainly organized in Helsinki (usually four days on the water and a separate theory day).

Excursion courses are sailed along the coast and in the Saaristomeri (at least 4 days). The courses include plenty of different boat-handling exercises, so that the crew's safe skill level is also achieved in landings and departures. 

The courses include 8 hours of theory, which is usually held on a separate theory day before the start of the course.

Outside of the boating season, we organize navigation courses and, if possible, sailings in the Mediterranean..

Customers can also order a trainer for their own boat, in which case training for boat handling is tailored according to their own needs.

We also organize sailing and navigation exams upon request..
