Sailing schools near Frankfurt

OK, We may be very far from the sea, but I want to learn to Sail. I could wait until I'm living closer to the coast, but if it's possible here, I'd like to start.

Anyone know of a Sailing club nr here, either on Main, Rhine or in a local See?

Thankyouplease.

Hi bobD, I found this info from Google searching 'segeln Frankfurt'. I'm not sure if you're looking for instruction only in English, but in any case these links should still be a good starting place.

Also, here's some general info on the requirements for owning/operating a sailboat in Germany: River and lake sailing in Germany

Hope some of that is helpful! Let us know if you get started with lessons, and tell us how it goes.

Happy sailing!

Here is one where i have registered but haven't found time to finish

Before you register in any course center take a note of the following

1. Notes are in German even though the teacher explains in english if you want
2. No way of making the test in English as it is not available anywhere in germany. I have personally contacted the Examination authority and
they confirm that. Suggested possibility is to have a translator for the exam which may involve additional costs.
