“The best sailors are not the ones who know the most. They are the ones who make the best decisions under pressure.”

Coaching with
Sanni Beucke.

Sanni’s path to an Olympic medal and the world’s top level was shaped by moments when she stepped out of her comfort zone & believed in herself in a male-dominated sport. As a coach, she shares with you not only her experience in technique and tactics, but also helps you build confidence in your own abilities.
Together with another professional regatta coach, Sanni works directly with you on board – on technique, tactics and teamwork. Personal, goal-oriented, and with passion.

OUR Boats

Sailing takes place in a one-design class on current Dehler 38 SQ Racing Yachts — fair, sporty, and challenging.

Frequently Asked Questions

For women passionate about sailing — as crew or individual participants, beginners and advanced alike. Minimum crew: 6 women per boat, ideally 7-8 people.

You will have an experienced regatta skipper as a trainer on board and can participate in the Race Camp even as a complete regatta and even sailing novice. During training, the respective positions on the boat are assigned according to experience, and there are certainly positions that you can learn and master in a very short time even without any sailing experience. Many sailors from the cruising sector start regattas with a similar experience level to sailing beginners. We therefore deliberately distribute participants according to their experience level among the participating boats. All you need to bring is a desire for sporty sailing and the ambition to give your all with your team in training & races.

There will also be time to take it a bit easier in between. The only thing the Sail & Race Academy does not offer is harbour manoeuvres training under engine.

On identical Dehler 38 Performance yachts — fair, sporty, and challenging. All boats are equipped with sporty mainsails & headsails as well as gennakers for broad reach and downwind courses.
