Dinghy sailing
"You will have much fun sailing on our fast, easy to manoeuvre and enjoyable boats"
Dinghy sailing is such a good way to enjoy the sun, the wind and the sea of Minorca. In Wind Fornells we love passing our passion for this amazing outdoor activity on to our clients and seeing them enjoying themselves and getting hooked on this fascinating sport.
We offer different kind of sailing courses depending on the client’s level and the kind of boat used. Each boat has its own peculiarities since there are a lot of different sizes and shapes, as well as different ways to sail.
Our sailing courses usually consist of a minimum of two sessions. Each session is of approximately two hours duration and can be done in the morning or in the afternoon. You will find our detailed timetables on the right of the page.
