About us
Sailing Since 1978
Franco PistoneScuola della Vela has always been the reference point for sailing enthusiasts in Costa Smeralda. The school is directed by Franco Pistone, national instructor FIV, who has been teaching sailing in Costa Smeralda since 1978 helped by federal instructors and sailing experts. More than 3000 sailing students have taken our courses on vessels ranging from 3 to 10 metres. Scuola della Vela has, for the last 27 years, managed the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda school and for the last 10 years it has also managed the Yacht Club Poltu Quatu school; two year ago we launched a new base in Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. The school's policy is to always maintain the highest standards for both didactics and equipment whilst ensuring that professional, well prepared staff contributes constantly to the school's growth. Our goal is to always remain a school for every person whilst keeping a tight control on the quality of work done.
