SAILING / YACHTING |
|
|
|
| With over 300 days of sunshine, and approximately 200 days with an average wind speed of 10-15 knots, safe waters, no currents or tides worth worrying about and a commendable search and rescue facility, there is little more a sailor could ask for. Two marinas, several ports and numerous bays provide shelter from the prevailing moderate westerlies. | |
Even during the
winter months, the European Yachtsmen will be
 surprised by the temperate sailing
conditions - with
air and sea temperatures around 17C - competing
with early summer back home. From anywhere on the island you are
never more than an hour away from a spot that you can launch a dingy
and enjoy an afternoon of sailing. Whether you pick Optimist,
Lasers, 470, Catamarans, Cruisers, Windsurfers, Landsailers, there is
a spot for every kind of sail. |
