24 - 27 August 2026 in Davos
Women's Camp
The Women’s Camp in Davos has long since established itself as a fixture in the sailing calendar and is now in its fifth year! No wonder: Davos’s breathtaking mountain scenery not only provides ideal sailing conditions but also delights visitors with its warm hospitality.
The camp is aimed at female sailors who wish to develop their skills in a targeted manner and benefit from professional feedback. This year, the focus is on a balanced mix of boat handling, team dynamics and regatta practice: over two days we will train intensively on team dynamics, whilst on the other two days we will race and subsequently analyse the races in terms of tactics and strategy. Thanks to the lively exchange during the briefings, all participants benefit from the diverse experiences of the group.
The camp is open to female sailors of all experience levels. Where there are significant differences in ability, the exercises will be carried out in groups of a similar standard, ensuring that every participant receives the best possible support.
Costs
800 CHF per participant
3'200 CHF per team
Teams
The camp will take place with a minimum of 4 teams and a maximum of 8 teams.
Main Language
The main language will be English, as we work with international coaches and the camp is advertised internationally.
Coaches
Dani Rast and Livia Naef will be the coaches. They sail together in a women's team and are very familiar with the various positions. Both have a background as professional sailors and are experienced coaches.
Food
If you are interested, packed lunches can be arranged. These must be ordered before the camp. There will also be a group dinner during the camp. Both of these services are included in the participation fee.
Accommodation
Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodation. However, the SSLA is happy to assist you with recommendations and helpful tips on suitable places to stay.
Terms and conditions
Registration
The SSLA Camps are advertised via Manage2Sail. All participating teams must register there and download the invoice for the ‘camp fee’ via the platform.
Team or individual registration
To maximise learning outcomes and enjoyment, we recommend registering directly as a complete team. If you are interested in the camp as an individual, please contact us at schooling@swisssailingleague.ch. We will help you form a crew with others.
Team composition
A team consists of 4–5 crew members.
Requirements
Basic sailing skills are required to take part in the camp. Teams must be familiar with the basics of competitive sailing and be able to manoeuvre a racing keelboat safely. Experience on the J/70 is an advantage, but not essential. As some of the coaching will be provided by international trainers, all participants must have a basic knowledge of English in order to understand the training content and safety instructions. All participants are required to follow the coaches’ safety instructions and to bring the necessary personal equipment (e.g. suitable sailing clothing, life jacket).
Organisation & Number of Participants
The camp will take place as soon as at least 4 teams have registered. A maximum of 8 teams may participate; places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A decision on whether the camp will go ahead will be made no later than one month before the start of the camp.
Terms of Payment
Participation is only guaranteed if the camp fee has been paid at least 14 days before the start of the camp. The invoice can be downloaded from Manage2sail. Participants who have not made payment by this date will be removed from the list via email or may only participate if the camp fee is paid immediately.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation of the camp must be made in writing. For cancellations made up to 30 days before the start of the camp, the camp fee will be refunded in full. For cancellations made 30 days or less before the start of the camp, no refund will be given, unless a replacement team can be provided.
Liability & Agreement
The participating teams are responsible for the use of the SSLA J/70 yachts and are liable for any damage. By signing the ‘Sailing Agreement Camp’, the teams agree to these terms and conditions.
