Your Local Sailing Hub in Terre-Sainte

While the larger sailing schools in Nyon or Founex start winding down, the Club Nautique de Crans remains the vibrant heart of sailing for the Terre-Sainte community. We offer a high-level coaching environment without the “crowded school” feel. For local families, it’s the most convenient and professional way to ensure their teens keep developing their skills in a focused, elite, yet friendly atmosphere.

  • Duo navigation: Learn how to coordinate with your teammate (helmsman and crew).
  • Trapeze and Spinnaker: Discover the pleasure of "the trapeze" to balance the boat and the excitement of hoisting the spinnaker (the large balloon sail) downwind.

PROGRAM

Spring / Autumn Sailing Courses.

A great opportunity to discover sailing or get back on the water outside the summer season. These sessions help children build confidence and improve their skills in a fun and safe environment, with the goal of becoming more independent on the lake.

This session includes:

  • Sailing Basics & Progression: Learning or revising sailing techniques, wind awareness, tacking and gybing on an Optimist.
  • Raids & Manoeuvres: Short navigation challenges, specific manoeuvre practice and playful tactical situations.
  • Games & Fun: Nautical games, mini-races and friendly challenges adapted to each level.

Fresh air, fun and steady progress on the lake — the perfect way to begin or finish for the nautical season.
