Hello!

I would like to learn to sail somewhere warm and cheap. I hope Thailand is the right place. Does anybody know somewhere good, in Thailand or outside?

I would like to start with a dinghy like a Laser. I am a beginner but would like to do a proper course, if possible. I don't have a boat.

Please let me know!

Thank you.

Hi Fanciman,

you could try as well Island Cruises on Koh Tao. I heard they offer as well a week sailing course.

Good luck

Hi

I amnot sure where you can go to take lessons in thialnd. But if you have never sailed before starting at laser level could be difficult.. I would suggest going to Royal Varuna Yayht Club and renting a davidson first. They are simple and easy to sail.You must first get to know where the wind is. A davidson is safe and forgiving. After you are comfortable with the davidson then if you wish go on to laser.

I would suggest davidson then perhaps small keelboat 18 to20ft around 1500 to2000 pounds weight with 500 lbs of that keel weight.Have an experienced skipper with you because they donot have brakes.

If you are 40 or older definitely donot go to laser, go for davidson. Your stomacch muscles wouldnot handle a laser,you would be in the water a lot.

Hope this helps
