Have you ever dreamed about learning how to sail but didn’t know how or where to begin from? In Italy now you can do it gluten-free!

The Italian Youth Group has secured an important collaboration between the National association (Associazione Italiana Celiachia, AIC) and the biggest sailing school of the mediterranean, the Centro Velico Caprera (CVC), situated in the wonderful Archipelago of La Maddalena, Sardinia.

From today all coeliacs will find safe gluten-free food in all the three residential bases of the school on Caprera island, where courses on dinghies as well as keel boats are held. A special beginners’ course on Laser Bahia dinghies will be dedicated entirely to gluten-free next September. The course will last one week (14-21 September 2013) and will cover all the basic theory and practice of sailing in complete safety, both at sea and ashore! Come sailing with us!

 

For more info check out the websites of Associazione Italiana Celiachia or Centro Velico Caprera (in Italian), or write an email to gporzio@celiachia.it!

Below you can find some photos taken during some of the past years’ courses. Enjoy!
