École de Voile de Terre Sainte
Plage des Rocailles, chemin des Bernodes, 1296 Coppet · Vaud · Switzerland
School Presentation
The École de Voile de Terre Sainte (EVTS) is a non-profit association founded in 2006 and based in the Rocailles park, on Rocailles beach in Coppet, on the Vaud shore of the Petit-Lac between Geneva and Nyon. With around ten instructors qualified under the Swiss Jeunesse et Sport programme, it welcomes more than 400 students each season and runs 22 sailing boats, 8 motorboats and 4 complete wingfoil kits.
Wingfoiling is taught only in one-hour private lessons for one or two people aged 16 and over, in three steps: handling the wing while standing on a paddleboard, then the foil towed behind a motorboat, and finally full wingfoiling. As a Fanatic Center, the school renews its equipment every year; helmet, impact vest and full wetsuit are provided, and a WhatsApp group lets students know when the wind is right. Independent riders can book a "downwind shuttle" (a motorboat ride back upwind, unsupervised riding), and former students can rent a complete kit. Windsurfing is offered in summer camps from age 8 and as rental, on daggerboard boards or funboards.
The rest of the programme is about sailing: spring, summer and autumn camps from age 6 (Optimist, Laser Bug, Laser Pico, Laser Vago, catamaran), weekly lessons for children and adults, sailing licence training on a Surprise keelboat, paddleboard and kayak rental, an "independent" membership for adults, corporate events and school sailing with the Terre Sainte schools. A safety boat accompanies every session, and instructors carry VHF radios.
