Why go
About Circolo Vela Cernobbio
Circolo Vela Cernobbio is a sailing association affiliated with the Italian Sailing Federation. It was started in 2003 by a group of local sailing enthusiasts and has always focused on bringing younger people to sailing, while keeping the social side that helps sailors of every age grow.
The club is based in the old gatehouse of the park of Villa Erba, beside the only beach on the first basin of Lake Como. Boats are kept and lessons are run right there, so each course begins on the water in a calm, green setting.
