35 years, our sailing centre on the edge of Fornells Bay

is an ideal location for sailing and windsurfing. We have

the highest standard of sailing and windsurfing equipment.

Our centre is up to date with all the latest innovations

and designs, and by improving and replacing equipment

regularly, we maintain impressive fleets of both boats and

windsurfers. By carefully selecting and training our staff,

With over a dozen regional UK airports to choose from, travelling to Minorca from

any part of the country is quick and easy. Minorca is less than two hours away

from London, and Ses Salines is a 25 minute journey from the airport. Depending

on flight times, you can sail on the day you arrive and on the day you leave.

The idyllic and unspoilt bay of Fornells provides an outstanding sailing area

with a narrow opening to the sea. It offers an endless variety of winds and

sailing conditions for the expert, along with the secure feeling of land ahead

for the beginner.

Our specialist sailing and windsurfing centre is in Ses Salines, just south of

Fornells on the edge of the bay. It is a small, friendly sailing village away from

the tourist beat. Here life revolves around the beach, corner shop and local bars.

All of our accommodation in Ses Salines is only a minute or two’s walk from the

beach and sailing centre.

Fornells, at the head of the bay and a short walk from Ses Salines, is a small,

whitewashed fishing village, typical to Minorca. In summer, its harbour becomes a

popular overnight haven for visiting yachts and the bars and restaurants have

a lively evening atmosphere.

Page 5: Minorcasailing 2015

Here to HelpA Helping HandMinorca Sailing staff are here to make life easy for you. They are

always ready and willing to lend a friendly, helping hand. They

will help you choose which group to join to suit your sailing or

windsurfing level and aims. They will guide you to the most

suitable boat or windsurf board and sail, depending on your

ability and the wind strength. Our instructors busily rig and de-

rig your boats and windsurfers, and assist you in launching from

the beach and coming back in, every time you go out sailing.

InstructionInstruction from our experienced RYA qualified staff is thorough,

skilful and sympathetic, for beginners through to experts. Our

staff are specially chosen for their encouraging and caring

approach at all levels of ability.

The Minorca Sailing TeamOur enthusiastic staff consists of sailing and windsurfing

instructors, reps, nannies, children’s instructors and safety boat

drivers, all highly trained in their roles and passionate about their

jobs. Our team are here to accommodate every one of you and

we provide the highest quality of service possible. Our aim will

always be to make your holiday with us, your best holiday ever.

Relax and Enjoy Minorca Sailing offers a flexible programme with as much expert

tuition as you wish. Join one of our small and friendly groups of

sailors of a similar ability. Your group will have your own

instructor who will help you improve your sailing or windsurfing

in enjoyable company.

Our first-rate equipment is there for you to enjoy. When you

want to sail or windsurf, we make life easy. The boats are always

rigged for you, moored in warm shallow water, a few yards from

your accommodation. The boards are in handy racks at the

water’s edge with a choice of the latest sails of every size,

already rigged for you. Our large sailing and windsurfing fleets

ensure that there are always boats and boards available for you.

If you prefer to just sit back and enjoy the sailing, one of our

instructors will sail around the bay with you and perhaps a few

others. He or she may take you to the coves at the head of the

bay, give you time to stop off and explore small beaches and

islands, or take you to the local village of Fornells where you can

enjoy a coffee break at a waterside café.

Feel free to take time off. Go for a swim, explore Minorca or just

laze in the sun. The choice is yours and you can sail and

windsurf as much or as little as you please.

Dining OutWith so many superb restaurants,you will be spoilt for choiceduring your holiday.

Ses SalinesIn Ses Salines itself, ‘Ca Na Marga’ is popular for its

barbecued steaks and bustling atmosphere. Most sailors

meet up here at the end of the day to enjoy a drink in

the beer garden which has a pleasant club ambience.

‘Hotel Port Fornells’, set just back from the beach, is a

convenient place to have a drink or snack throughout

the day.

‘Restaurant Ses Salines’, just above the beach,

commands an inspiring view over the sailing centre and

the bay, and is well known in Minorca for its fresh fish

cuisine and high standard of service.

FornellsRenowned throughout Spain for its lobster and

mediterranean seafood, Fornells’ restaurants have a

pleasant quay-side ambience. You can enjoy eating in

the open air whilst looking out at the yachts in the bay.

Choose between simple local dishes, or indulge in a

wealth of fresh seafood.

Within 15 minutes by car there are many small country

restaurants, some tucked up in the side streets of inland

villages and some in picturesque, rural settings. They

have varied menus, with paella, salt baked fish, roast

suckling pig, barbecued meats and many other

interesting dishes to tempt you.

The magnificent harbours of Mahon and Ciudadella are

lined with yachts of every size. Relax and enjoy a meal

at one of the many small harbourside restaurants, each

with a character of its own.

A Minorca Sailing holiday is an ideal choice if you're travelling

on your own or with friends. Our structured days of morning

and afternoon group tuition are the perfect way to get to

competitive spirit during our 5 day race series, you will be

mixing with others and having a fun and exciting time.

In May, June, September and October we organise a group

meal on your arrival night at a local restaurant, giving you a

chance to meet people right from the start of your holiday.

Every Saturday after your first day on the water, we hold an

informal sangria drinks party, providing a great opportunity to

meet up with fellow sailors and instructors and discuss the

day's activities.

small, family run hotel, or choose to share an apartment or

villa where you can expect a relaxed, happy atmosphere and

a pleasant social life.

whether it's on the beach, sailing or windsurfing, by the

swimming pool, or in one of the local restaurants and bars.

SailingThe Specialist Sailing CentreSailing with us is designed to be as varied and flexible as possible

so that every individual's preference and enjoyment is catered for.

We have an extensive choice of sailing boats to choose from. With

our large and varied fleet there is always a boat available and

you'll have the chance to try out the whole range of craft.

Whether you're a complete novice, a competent Laser sailor, new

to asymmetric sailing or an experienced racer, you can be assured

that we will help you learn new skills and improve your sailing

technique whilst on holiday with Minorca Sailing.

Sailing ProgrammeWe organise structured days providing you with group tuition in

the mornings and continued instruction in the afternoons with

the opportunity to race daily. At the informal briefing on the

beach each morning, we'll give you a weather report and outline

the possibilities for the day. Depending on wind and weather,

you may be sailing inside the bay, perhaps learning a new skill

like using the gennaker or a trapeze, improving your race starts

or perfecting what you already know.

Within the group sessions your instructor will use a mixture of

theory and simulator lessons, on-water coaching, video analysis,

and demonstrations throughout the day to enhance your

knowledge, sailing skills and racing tactics.

Every afternoon after the group sessions or race we offer

additional tuition where you can try out a new boat with an

experienced instructor onboard, or concentrate on learning and

improving a specific skill. You can also use this time to learn how

to windsurf or improve your windsurfing technique.

RYA CertificatesWith the help of our qualified instructors, RYA levels can be

achieved and certificates awarded, from Basic Skills through to

Performance Sailing, whilst on holiday with Minorca Sailing.

Tuition is included, however, the certificates and log books are an

additional cost.

Getting AfloatIf you’ve never sailed before, you’ll be amazed at how

easy it all is. Instruction on the beach and then afloat

from our experienced staff is thorough, skilful,

sympathetic and informal.

Most of our absolute beginners are sailing a single

handed Laser Pico in the safe, shallow waters by the end

of the first afternoon. We will introduce you to sailing a

two man boat during the week and able beginners often

progress to sailing a single handed Laser by the end of

their first week.

With a good ratio of instructors to beginner sailors you

can rest assured that you will always be looked after.

During the first morning on the water there will also be a

safety boat assigned to your group for rapid attention to

any matter which may arise. And Fornells Bay is

reassurance itself: warm shallow water, locked in by the

gentle hills and wooded countryside. Even learning to

deal with a capsize is fun!

Our aim is to help all beginners achieve their RYA Level 2

course whilst on holiday with Minorca Sailing, presenting

them with their certificate at the end of the week.

RacingAs a specialist sailing centre we offer racing daily. Every afternoon

you can compete against your fellow sailors, providing you with

as the 2000s, RS Vareos, RS 100s, RS 200s, RS 400s, RS 500s and

RS 800s. Or you can choose to race one of our many other

asymmetric boats, in a handicap system.

Racing

Race Training If you have never raced a boat, our experienced RYA instructors

will introduce you to the rules involved and encourage you to go

out and compete. For those who have raced before, our

instructors have a multitude of tried and tested techniques and

constructive advice to offer, helping you improve your racing skills

and gain better results.

At Minorca Sailing we use a combination of theory sessions on the

land, on the water practice, video analysis and GPS tracking for

this training. The video we take of you racing allows us to analyse

your boat handling skills, and the GPS tracking device we fit to

your boat once or twice a week, provides us with information to

study your race starts and tactics. This useful feedback is

discussed during early evening group sessions watching the video

or GPS tracking system on a screen.GPS Tracking – Windward Leg

Additional tuition can be arranged after the normal day's

programme. This is the perfect opportunity to try your hand at

trapezing on one of our many asymmetric boats.

For those keen to windsurf, our Vulcan group (ages 8-12) runs in

the late afternoons and provides a fun and safe environment in

which to learn and improve your skills, with the aim of achieving

RYA Stage 1 by the end of the week.

Sailing for Juniors (8-9 years)

Page 28: Minorcasailing 2015

On the water is a great place to spend your holiday. Whether

you’re a beginner or a more experienced sailor, our hand-picked

RYA instructors will ensure a lively and fun time for all.

Whatever your level of sailing or windsurfing, you can be assured

that new skills will be learnt in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere.

With groups ranging from the complete beginner to the more

advanced sailor or windsurfer, every capability is catered for.

Young Sailors (10-12 years)

Beginner windsurfers start off on one of our many carefully

chosen Junior boards and rigs. For keen and able board

sailors we will help you improve your technique and skills

such as using the harness and footstraps, planing, fast

tacking, gybing and freestyle.

The Vulcan windsurf group (ages 8-12) runs daily in the late

afternoons allowing young sailors to learn new windsurfing

skills in a fun and enjoyable group environment, with the aim

of achieving RYA Stage 1 by the end of the week.

Novices will learn to sail in our RS Teras. Youngsters with some

sailing experience will also enjoy helming the RS Tera sailed with

a 3.7m² Dacron Sport Sail. The RS Tera can be converted into a

challenging and demanding race boat for our advanced sailors

with the 4.8m² fully battened Mylar Pro Sail. A further

progression is to sail the challenging and dynamic 4.7 Lasers.

The exhilarating two person asymmetric RS Fevas are also sailed

by our competent youngsters.

There is the opportunity to race every afternoon with specific

race training sessions being held throughout the week. Keen

racers can join in with the main race video and GPS sessions,

and there is a regatta held at the end of the week.

Teenagers It’s great to sail and windsurf! With our regular

theory sessions, followed by on the water practice, it

won’t be long before you’re racing all over the bay on

the boat or board of your choice.

Beginners will find it doesn't take long to learn the

basics in the warm Mediterranean, while more

experienced and capable sailors and windsurfers will

find our extensive fleets and equipment, exhilarating,

challenging and above all, fun!

We have an abundance of Picos, Lasers and

asymmetrics including RS Fevas, 29ers, 2000s, RS

100s, RS 200s, RS 400s and RS 500s for you to sail

and race.

You’ll find a multitude of the latest windsurf boards,

rigs and harnesses to choose from, to suit all abilities

and wind strengths.

You can try your hand on one of our high

performance craft and we can arrange for an

instructor to accompany you on an asymmetric such

as the 29er or RS 800. You can also try one of our

radical single handers, such as the RS Vareo, RS 100

or the Musto Skiff.

A variety of activities are included in the day’s sailing

programme, such as destination sails and on the

water games, allowing for a great team spirit to

develop within the group. The group coordinator will

oversee all activities and will organise and provide

safety cover for all our groups on the water.

For keen racers there are GPS race sessions and

training along with a daily race series. There is also

the end of week regatta.

Our lively RYA instructors organise and participate in

evening activites with you. These include video

coaching, beach volleyball and pizza nights.

The Bay of FornellsThe bay of Fornells is a large unspoilt landlocked area which can be

sailed in all wind directions, it has a narrow opening to the sea and

little disturbance from tides, providing a friendly and safe sailing

environment for both sailors and windsurfers on all levels. To

increase safety we ask all sailors to wear buoyancy aids at all times

and helmets in single-handers in strong winds. With windsurfers we

suggest buoyancy aids are worn when learning as recommended by

the RYA.

Safety BoatsWe consider that our motorised safety boats provide the best safety

cover of any sailing centre in the world. With a fleet of Valiant 4.9m

and Narwhal 4.8m semi inflatables with 25hp and 40hp Mercury four

stroke engines, used for both teaching and safety cover.

Radio CommunicationWe consider that in any activity centre radio commu nication is

essential. Our safety boats are linked to each other and the shore

with IC-M501EURO radios. In addition to this our group sailing

instructors carry IC-M33 waterproof radios, providing exceptional

radio safety cover.

Safety Boat DriversAll the instructors using the safety craft are RYA qualified and in

addition to this we are a RYA Training Centre. So whether you are

sailing out at sea, taking your first boat out in our sheltered waters

or watching your children sail across the bay to a nearby island, you

can be sure that quality, modern safety craft, with qualified drivers

are always on hand whenever needed.

Boat SafetyWe attach 40 litre Crewsaver Mast Floats to the top of our asymmetric

masts. This reduces the tendency of capsized asymmetrics to invert,

making them safer boats to enjoy. We attach small polystyrene

buoyancy floats to the top of our Laser 4.7s, all our single handed

beginner boats and our children’s boats. In the event of a capsize,

these floats slow down the inversion process, making the recovery

quicker and easier.

Price Guide for Apartment and Villa Share in £’s per person from Gatwick

Accommodation is available either in self-catering villas or

apartments, all of which are within 3 minutes’ walk from the

local shop, restaurants and moorings. Our accommodation is

personally selected and regularly used by our staff who can

advise on individual requirements.

The local shop stocks a comprehensive range of food and

domestic items for your everyday needs. One of the

advantages of self-catering is eating ‘at home’ when it suits

you. Lunch couldn’t be easier - a crisp salad, fresh bread,

perhaps the local cheese and some fruit.

Most villas have built-in barbecues enabling you to enjoy an

occasional mediterranean meal on your own patio. When you

wish to dine out there are two restaurants in the village. On

the seafront with a commanding view of the bay is Restaurant

Ses Salines. At the edge of the village, Ca Na Marga, a

farmhouse-style barbecue restaurant, is a favourite evening

meeting place.

Fornells is a short walk along the bay and has a number of

excellent restaurants, cafes, tapas bars, a variety of small

shops, supermarkets, bakeries, a post office and a bank.

Apartment ShareIf you are travelling on your own and wish to share an

apartment, book our ‘Apartment Share’. You’ll be in a self-

catering apartment and there will be others to share with you.

Villa Share lllYou will have your own room sharing in one of our Group A or

B Villas or Villa Apartments.
