Discover sailing at the Yacht Club de Monaco, whether you’re a beginner or an enthusiast! Join us every Saturday morning, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., for a gentle introduction to sailing on a collective dinghy or Echo 90. And if you’d like to progress even further, our advanced sessions on collective dinghies and sport keelboats (J70 / Smeralda 888) welcome you on Saturday afternoons, from 2pm to 5pm.
Dedicated to youngsters aged 7 to 15, this “School for Life” welcomes all the Principality’s children and is a breeding ground for regatta sailors, where owners come to recruit their crews. It’s here that the transmission of values is played out, a value to which the entire Yacht Club team is committed, and which unites the generations.

All participants are recommended to follow this short introduction with the “Basic Skills” and “Better Sailing” courses in order to consolidate their skills.
By the end of this course, you will have a basic knowledge of sailing and will be able to sail in light winds without an instructor on board.
It is assumed that each participant starting this course already has the practical skills and theoretical knowledge acquired during the “Start Sailing” course.
Capsize recovery exercises, in either dinghies or multihulls, will be carried out in a controlled manner, one boat at a time, with an appropriate safety boat nearby.
This advanced course is designed to bridge the gap between “Start Sailing”, “Basic Skills”, and the advanced modules, by providing an introduction to the different modules and helping sailors more easily choose their preferred path in sailing practice.
“Better Sailing” offers the opportunity to practice and consolidate sailing techniques, while also discovering some of the activities included in the advanced modules, encouraging self-confidence, good technique, and independence at the helm.
The additional modules are optional for the validation of the “Better Sailing” course, but they provide an introduction to the various aspects of sailing. The choice of topics to explore should be discussed between the student and the instructor.
Whenever possible, students should have the opportunity to sail different types of dinghies during the course, either single-handed or double-handed.
