Start Sailing	Start Regattas	National Team
The best way to start Sailing is in a club proposing seasonal courses or camps. You can also join the famous Davos-camp usually held in July.	To start Regatta Sailing in Optimist you will need to be a member of a swiss sailing club, you will need a boat with swiss measurement papers, a third party insurance certificate, and an affiliation to Swiss Optimist.	To be part of the Swiss National Optimist Team you must register for the selection beginning of the year, and qualify yourself on the Swiss Point-Championship and at the selection regattas.
