fanciman Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I am a beginner at sailing but wonder if Pattaya might be a good place to learn, since it is by the sea. I have in mind a Laser dinghy (a one or possibly two man boat). I don't have a boat myself, so would need to borrow / rent one. Does anybody know people who can teach sailing? Please let me know. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibeymai Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) I don't think you'll learn much about sailing if you're sailing a Laser by yourself unless you already know the basics and they don't have much room for two people. Also, Lasers can be a bit tricky to sail for the inexperienced. Why not go down to the marina and try to get a crew position on a yacht. Normally there's a number of experienced sailors on board willing to teach you the ropes. once you understand the basics then a Laser will be a very enjoyable teacher.

aussiechick Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Why don't you check out Royal Varuna Yacht Club http://www.varuna.org/index.htm I know they teach juniors but they might be able to point you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
