A well kept swimming pool with kids basin rounds up the offer for the family .

New facilities :
1. Sailors lounge with beautifully veranda on the outer landing stage. The lounge is equipped with comfortable furniture , fully climated and the glass front offers a fantastic view on the sailing area even from inside . The veranda is equipped with tables, chairs , sun loungers and beach umbrellas. Certainly catering service is available there too .

2. The new floating coffee shop is a pontoon with round about 150m2 offering small snacks and drinks directly in the lake near the Shanghai border. The pontoon has landing facilities for boats so you can enjoy a short rest directly at the sailing area. Visitors or friends can watch the sailing activities very close resting on comfortable Rattan furniture. It’s a perfect base for races and trainings!

3. New wooden parking platform with slip and landing stage for small dinghies and multihulls at the outer berth.
