The importance of sailing to Louisenlund

Louisenlund offers a variety of sports such as soccer, volleyball, tennis and field hockey. Among these activities, sailing is a particular highlight and an integral part of our educational program. The campus, picturesquely situated on the banks of the Schlei, has its own safe harbor. Here, under the watchful guidance of experienced sailing instructors, students discover the magic of wind energy and the art of sailing. They not only learn how to navigate the boat, but also develop a deep understanding of weather and water conditions. Depending on their individual abilities, the sailors can choose between different boat classes.

Sailing as a multifaceted experience:

  • promotes team spirit and effective communication,
  • builds self-confidence and a sense of self-efficacy,
  • teaches a sense of responsibility for oneself and others,
  • trains solution-oriented thinking,
  • connects pupils directly with nature,
  • makes physical principles tangible in a playful way,
  • strengthens physical fitness, balance and coordination,
  • helps with stress management and promotes resilience,
  • sharpens the ability to reflect and strengthens self-confidence.

Sailing in Louisenlund is much more than just a sport. It can be seen as a relaxed leisure activity, an open-air science laboratory or a competitive sport in our regatta group.
