Free in the Wind – Recreational Sailing and Skill Games in Fonyód

The “Free in the Wind” program offers a unique opportunity for those interested to learn the basics of sailing with the help of experienced Lake Balaton sailors, the beauty of sailing, and the experience of active recreation on Lake Balaton. The goal of the event is to make sailing more accessible to those who have not yet tried this sport, but would like to discover a new, exciting form of exercise.

Participants can gain insight into the world of sailing, learn the most important basics of how the boats operate and are steered, and—under the guidance of experienced sailors—take part in various skill-building exercises. The program does not focus on competition or performance, but rather on gaining experience safely, having fun, learning together, and active recreation on the water.

Sailing embodies movement, freedom, concentration, and physical and mental rejuvenation all at once. Time spent on Lake Balaton can help you escape the daily grind, while participants gain new knowledge and enrich their social experiences. The program also promotes health and wellness, as outdoor activities, fresh air, and proximity to water can all contribute to physical and mental rejuvenation.

The event is primarily aimed at local residents, families vacationing in Fonyód, kids, adults, and tourists seeking active recreation. The organizers also strive to ensure that people with mild physical, intellectual, or other disabilities.

Participation in the program is free.
