Anyone taking their first steps into the world of sailing is usually faced with a mountain of questions: How do I even get out on the water? Do I need a sailing licence or my own boat, or is a sailing course on holiday enough? The possibilities are vast – and at least as varied as sailing itself. Consequently, it can be difficult to find the right way to get started.
After all, this usually depends on your own interests: For example, if you’re a cruising sailor planning longer voyages or even wanting to charter a yacht, you’ll need the appropriate sailing licence – and will benefit enormously from one or two thorough courses. On the other hand, anyone who just wants to go sailing on a lake with friends now and then should think carefully about whether the effort involved in getting a recreational boating licence is really worth it. After all, there are plenty of ways to have fun on the water that needn’t be either complicated or expensive.
In the new webinar “How to get off to a flying start – the new YACHT Beginner’s Guide” YACHT editor Fabian Boerger provides a concise overview: What are the ways to get started in sailing? Which licences do you really need – and which ones don’t you? He explains clearly how to avoid costly detours, unnecessary courses and unnecessary exam fees.
The webinar is aimed both at beginners who are not yet sure how to get started, and at those new to sailing who have already gained some initial experience and are now planning their next step. The aim is to provide guidance – and to help each person find the right path for them on their sailing journey.
