The squadron normally consists of several training boats that sail together and primarily concern natural harbours in the middle and outer archipelago, e.g. Ornö, Nämdö, Biskopsön, Björkskär, Sandhamn, Möja, Nassa and others. Each day, the course offers different sailing and navigation elements. The days end with dinner and a summary of the day's exercises.
The school boats are robust keelboats with simple standards and comfort. The course program is adapted to the different education levels (steps) and contains the elements required for the Yachtman´s Diploma (Seglarintyg) 1 or 2 or 3 as well as the basics of the navigation courses.
After completing the course, you are offered the opportunity to take an examination at the same level/step at which your course was completed. There is also the opportunity to write a test for the Inshore Yachtmaster Diploma (Förarintyg)
Step 3 courses offer deepening in trimming and spinnaker sailing. The course participants are offered the opportunity to take the examination for Yachtman´s Diploma 3 and to write tests for the Inshore Yachtmaster Diploma (förarintyg) or Coastal Yachtmaster Diploma (Kustskepparintyg). For information on the different education levels (Steps) see Course content
