Description
A year-round sailing school for children ages 8–15 in Ķīpsala, Riga. During the warm season, training sessions take place on the water with “Winner Optimist” sailboats three times a week, and the children participate in regattas; in late fall and winter—2–3 times a week—agility and balance training, climbing, skating, theory, swimming, and rescue drills in the pool. The club provides the sailboats, rigging, and life jackets; coaches always accompany the children on the water in a motorboat. The introductory session is free; the school is led by two-time Olympian and world windsurfing champion Vita Matīse.
