You have the right – and now?
If you already know how to sail, but you don’t feel at home in foreign ports, anchoring or in an unexpected storm, this course is for you. In two days, we will get you to not only steer a boat – but also act like a captain on it.
Lake Balaton is full of special dangers and peculiarities that beginner courses barely cover. We will see the Széchenyi Rock, cross the Tihany “tube”, sail to foreign ports – and all this with 90% of the course being spent on the water, not in a classroom.
