Combi Clinic

Cursus voor volwassenen vanaf 18 jaar (beginner)
5 x Zaterdagochtend of middag

For 70 years, people of all ages have been learning to sail at de Kaag. Adults often choose to follow the traditional course in the keelboat, a logical choice. However, we believe that with more variety, you can bring your sailing skills to a higher level faster and more enjoyably. Sail in 4 different types of boats and get through the different insights faster feeling with the sailing. So that you can get on the water independently sooner.

The Combi Clinic stands for 5 half-days of group sailing in different types of boats.
*The structure of the course programme and type of boat depend on the weather conditions at that time.

  • The first lesson you go out together with 2 or 3 course members and an instructor in a falcon. Here you learn the basic principles of sailing with an instructor on board.

  • The second lesson, you go out in a MiniJi, a one-man keelboat with mainsail and jib. In this mini 12-metre yacht, you sit facing forward and steer with your feet. This way, you can fully focus on the sailing itself. These boats can hardly tip over. In this boat you can therefore safely discover for yourself what happens. Of course, there is a CWO instructor who offers guidance.

  • The third lesson, depending on the wind strength, you will sail the WETA trimaran together with another student and/or with the instructor. Because of the three hulls, the boat is stable but very fast. This way you can experience the fun of sailing and the speed of a multi-hull.

  • The fourth lesson you get back into the MiniJi and the focus is on tacking. Sailing straight into the wind is not possible. By tacking, sailing diagonally against the wind and zigzagging, you can still sail "against the wind". These boats are perfect to practice this independently. Of course, the instructor will guide you through this.

  • And the last lesson is in a two-man sword boat, the RS Quest. This rather stable sword boat lets you experience another dimension of sailing.

At the end of this course, you will have the perfect basis to continue in the type of boat of your choice. There is also a special follow-up course in each type of boat to get a CWO diploma. In the end you can get your CWO diploma in just as much time as it takes to do a regular course. However, with the Combi Clinic you will have more experience so you will master the boat feeling faster.

The above format is ideal, however, it may be due to much or less wind, that we change the order slightly. The lessons are every week with the same group, besides learning, sociability is our top priority.

Please note, if there are too few registrations, you may be asked to participate in the other time slot.
