Sailing is a very versatile sport that offers a wide range of activities from demanding solo sailing to more leisurely yacht sailing. It is therefore not only optimal trimming and fast maneuvers, but also enjoy the water, wind and sun. Thereby the community and the comradely togetherness is in the center.

StSG Stuttgart currently has approximately 500 members. Under the mottos “Sailing is fun” and “The club for everyone,” it offers everything a water sports enthusiast could desire—from training for sailing and motorboat licenses and intensive youth programs to a diverse range of activities with dinghies and yachts on Lake Constance and opportunities to sail on the world’s oceans, competitive sports, and an attractive winter program.

During the summer semester, you’ll have the chance to participate in beginner weekends, training sessions, and sailing trips. We’ll be using the boats of the Studentische Seglergemeinschaft Stuttgart e.V. on Lake Constance and Lake Max-Eyth.

Beginner / trial sailing dinghies

If you want to slowly get to grips with sailing or are a bit rusty at sailing and want to revive your skills, then you've come to the right place. Dinghy sailing is the sporty version of sailing. You will experience what weight shifts on board and changes in sail positions can do. Tacking and jibing are of course also on the program.

Depending on your level of experience, you will be divided into crews and set up your dinghies together with our trainers. Once rigged, you will be given an introduction to the principles of dinghy sailing and then it's off onto the water. Depending on requirements, the event can be accompanied by a dinghy, sailboat or motorboat. So there's nothing more than getting wet.
Two wonderful days await you on Lake Constance in Gohren. So what are you waiting for?
