Learn to sail - SBF Inland Sailing
Sailing is a form of transportation that is thousands of years old. From today's perspective, it's quiet and environmentally friendly. There's even renewed discussion about using modern technologies to reintroduce sailing into commercial freight transport. But right now, more and more people are enjoying this type of water sport as a leisure activity. Whether cruising or racing, whether a small dinghy or a large yacht, the fundamentals and principles of sailing are the same everywhere.
In a bit of wind, all sailboats develop a lot of power. Anyone who's ever had to hold onto a child's kite in gusty winds has probably experienced this. That's why sailing should be learned in a school where, in addition to the basics, you're gradually introduced to various challenges in a controlled environment. Rescue teams plan and practice emergency procedures to ensure they can react correctly. On the water, you can't just pull over like you would with a car, so every good sailor has a few rules of conduct and procedures memorized to avoid mast and rigging failure. You'll learn these here at the sailing school.

Learn to sail - SBF Inland Sailing
In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of sailing. The goal is to be able to safely and independently handle your boat in light to moderate winds, sail efficiently from point A to point B, and handle hazardous situations. While you won't be an experienced sailor after completing the course, we recommend continuing to sail regularly. This is possible, for example, through our sailboat sharing program. You will practice basic maneuvers such as tacking, gybing, sail trimming, sailing at 9 knots, luffing up, and the man overboard maneuver. Our sailing course takes place on small keelboats. The instructor is on board, providing better support and more feedback (maximum 2 students per boat). There is no risk of capsizing as with dinghies. Stable keelboats allow even those who are less athletically agile to learn to sail and are perfect as an entry point for aspiring cruising sailors. Those who wish to obtain the SKS (Sportküstenschifferschein - German Coastal Skipper Certificate) in the future can acquire the necessary foundations for the SKS (Sportbootführerschein Binnen - Inland Waterways Certificate) on similar boats. After the course, the official recreational boating license (SBF) for inland waterways can be obtained on the training boat from an external examination board. The board charges an additional examination fee for this, which is not included in the course price. On many waterways in Germany, a license is not required for sailors. Nevertheless, it is advisable to know how to sail, and proof of sailing experience is often appreciated by rental companies. For sailing vessels with a sail area exceeding 6 square meters, a license (SBF-Binnen Segel) is required on federal inland waterways within the state of Berlin (excluding Zeuthener See and Dämeritzsee). This licensing requirement also applies to the sections of the Lower Havel Waterway located in the state of Brandenburg, from the northern tip of Peacock Island to river kilometer 16.4, and to the Havel-Oder Waterway from kilometer 6.4 to kilometer 10.2, including Nieder Neuendorfer See.
