Any sailors out there?

Hi All,


I recently moved to Geneva and am really excited about doing some sailing on the lake. Does anyone have any leads on clubs to join, where to rent boats / find crew opportunies? I looked at the Geneva Yacht Club but it didn't have any info on how to get involved, rent boats etc (http://www.ycg.ch/).


Is there a glocals sailing club at all? I imagine there would be a lot of interest.


 


Cheers

There's a Geneva Sailing Group on glocals though they haven't posted anything yet this season.


I rent sailboats often after work in the summer, at Les Corsaires (lescorsaires.ch) by the Jet d'Eau in Eaux-Vives. You don't need a Swiss sailing permit to rent their Yngling 4-person sailboats, and with a permit you can rent the 6-person Surprise.

Hi Greg,

I trust that he will be glad to give you the leads you are looking for.

Thanks All. I would be happy to give free lessons on the weekends I go sailing (which will be most) for people who are interested. Renting a boat at Les Corsaires for two hours would be about 25 pp (3 is a good number), plus a  beer for me after :)

Greg,


I am passionately interested on sailing lessons. I always wanted to learn but did not have chance before. I would like to learn sailing first basics and then hopefully advanced and get a licence. Please let me know if your can help or planning to anything with a broader group.


Cheers
