Experience is king. It can be obtained by first taking several practical and theoretical courses, providing for a very solid basis. However, at C-MASTERS we also offer a more playful approach to learning and building up experience...

Small group, great sailing area

   

I'm very happy with the boat offering plenty of space per person. The area where we sailed offers lots of opportunities to practice and acquire all experiences. Good communication by the training centre when I booked the course and very clear joining instructions. The course was very much in line with my expectations.
