Take note: sailing schools are reopening safely. There are only a few lessons on land, as sailing is taught on board. You soon learn, hands-on, how to steer boards and sails, from the easiest to manoeuvre to the most demanding, from the agile 'single-seater’ laser sailboat, wind and kite surfing boards, to boats with movable centreboards, where bowman and helmsman work in unison with daring bowlines and acrobatic trapeze harness sailing, and romantic cruise boats. As soon as you reach the sea, you will learn to listen to the atmosphere around you spontaneously and, as if by magic, an intimate physical bond is created with the sea and the wind, a relationship that is difficult to break.

All you need to do now is choose where to learn to ‘go sailing’. There are plenty of schools along the Island’s coasts, from the gulf of Cagliari to that of Asinara, from the gulf of Orosei to that of Oristano, from the Maddalena Archipelago to the islands of Sulcis and from the Gallura coast to the Riviera del Corallo. You can find them close to the most frequented beaches and in nautical clubs based in ports and tourist landings. If you are ready for a full immersion experience, the most prestigious sailing centres are at your disposal. Find your ideal school. It is worth trying your hand at the oldest form of navigation, the most poetic one, the one most in harmony with the Sardinian sea: it will be the most exciting part of your holiday!
