A program tailored to each child.
Has your child never practiced before?
We will teach him the basics of rigging, launching, and steering his Optimist.
Is your child already sailing in an Optimist?
We will provide him with individualized instruction so that he can progress at his own pace.
Who is it for? (Beginners and Intermediate learners).
Our instructors adapt to the level of each group:
Shipmate Level (Beginner): No experience required. Children discover the boat, learn not to be afraid of capsizing (the famous controlled “ditching”!) and how to steer their boat.
Captain Level (Advanced): For those who have already completed a course. We refine technique, learn how to adjust the sail to go faster, and introduce participants to recreational racing.
Why choose CNCrans en Terre Sainte?
Ideally located between Nyon and Coppet, our club offers a safe and less crowded lake, perfect for beginners to learn without stress. The atmosphere is family-friendly and our facilities are comfortable for children.
The Optimist: The ideal boat for beginners.
The Optimist is the world's leading small sailing boat for learning. Stable, unsinkable, and easy to maneuver, it allows children to quickly gain confidence.
-
Autonomy: Your child is in complete control (while being closely monitored by the instructor's motorboat).
- For younger children, it is possible to sail in pairs.
-
Comprehensive training: He will learn how to rig (prepare) his boat, understand the wind, stay on course, and tie his first nautical knots.

An unforgettable summer camp on the lake.
No more screens, it's time to get out in the fresh air! Our summer camps are designed to offer children and teenagers a real immersion in water sports. Over five consecutive days, the progress made is spectacular, whatever their level on the first day! Our goal? To help them become independent!
This week's schedule:
- Navigation: Learning sailing techniques, tacking, and wind management on an Optimist dinghy.
- Safety & Environment: Understand the weather, respect the lake, and follow boating rules.
- Games & Fun: Because it's vacation time, sessions include balance games, swimming, and challenges between friends.
How should I dress?
- Life jacket (provided).
- Sailing shoes or old sneakers (mandatory).
- Shorts or swimsuit.
- Technical T-shirt or Lycra*.
- Windbreaker depending on weather conditions.
- Sunscreen, water bottle, hat, and sunglasses (secured!)

* Cotton is a material to avoid. Once wet, it takes a very long time to dry.
A complete list will be sent to you by email before the start of camp.
