There is a place where, starting today, you will become better sailors: the Sailing Newspaper Youtube channel, where we have launched our immersive SAIL School course.
Two episodes each week, for a total of 25 videos (with many more to come), until the end of March.
Twenty-five lessons, “basic” and “advanced,” where experts reveal all the tricks to improve your skills on board, lengthen the life of your boat, sail safely.
How much does it cost to enroll in our SAIL School? Nothing. We believe that the culture of boating well should be spread as widely as possible, so we decided to release all the episodes in a public and shareable form. If you don’t want to miss any episodes, just subscribe to our youtube channel by clicking on the link below.
