CNCE BEGINNERS' COURSE

13-14 June 2026
This year's Beginners' Course will take place on the evenings of 1, 3, 9 & 11 June (theory lectures in Brussels) and on the weekend of 13-14 June (practical sailing in Bruinisse, Netherlands).

The course is based on 3 modules:

basic theory courses (evening sessions)
sailing on a cruiser yacht (1 day)
sailing on a dinghy (1 day)

The aim of the Beginners' Course is to give you a taste of sailing: you will be experiencing two days of sailing on two different types of boats, providing very different sensations, completed with a comprehensive introduction to the main chapters of the sailing bible.
