FAQ
What is the principle of RS Sailors Sailing Club?
Our priority is to offer an accessible opportunity for sailing to everyone, regardless of previous experience. It is possible to rent a boat from us or buy it if you wish.

Also, we have a regular competition program for every level and a nice sailing club social program.
RS Sailors Sailing Center offers several types of boats:
- RS Aero class for experienced sailors
- RS Quest for training, competition, and leisure
- RS Quba for training, competitions, and leisure
- RS Zest for training, competition, and leisure
- RS Tera and RS Feva universal sailboats for children and young people
What is a dinghy?
The word dinghy refers to certain types of sailboats. Dinghy sailing involves a small open boat with a sail that is used to harness the power of the wind, to move you through the water. Some dinghies are designed for speed and exhilaration, while others are better for learning and more relaxed sailing. Most dinghies are generally rigged ashore and launched each time you go sailing.I didn't understand anything. Is sailing that difficult?
Sailing and related concepts often seem complicated and incomprehensible when written down, but we confirm that the practice is much more exciting and easier to understand. All you have to do is have the courage and come to the sailing center. Experienced instructors can explain even the most complex sailing concepts during practical training.
What if I can't sail with a dinghy?
No problem! Instructors will teach you the basics of sailing based on effective level training and help you gain confidence through practical sailing. A similar sailing program is being used in many regions of the world.
Who are we welcomed to sail?
Different boat classes provide an opportunity to sail for both experienced and beginners. For example, if you have been sailing as a kid, but there is no good output anymore, then RS Sailors is exactly for you. Or you have been sailing on large yachts so far, but you would also like to turn the steering wheel yourself. Or you're just interested in the sea and sailing but don't know where to start.
Can my child or parent also sail?
Yes, of course. RS Tera and RS Feva boat classes are designed for children and young people. RS Zest and RS Quest are well suited for the whole family to go to sea and RS Aero can be sailed by more experienced sailors using sails of different sizes, which makes this boat suitable for both adolescents and sailors of a more solid age.Who are the customers of RS Sailors sailing center?

What to wear when coming to sail, what to take with you?
When coming to sail, it is good to wear comfortable sportswear in which you feel comfortable. In cooler weather, it's a good idea to put on a windproof jacket. On the shore, there is generally warmer weather than on the sea, so it is better to dress a little warmer at first. Lightweight sports shoes with soft soles are well suited as footwear. It is also recommended to bring a hat, gloves and warm socks.As you will inevitably have to come into contact with water while sailing and the water tends to be wet, it is worth bringing a dry change of clothes and shoes just in case.
Is this a new club and do I need to replace my current club?
The RS Sailors Sailing Club is not a separate yacht club, so everyone can sail, regardless of club membership. However, MTÜ Pirita Svertpaadiklubi also runs at the center, which can be joined by sailors from other clubs as well as brand new people who are just starting sailing.
