Matroserne is a sailing programme for children and young people with special needs, run by Brøndby Strands Sejlklub. The sessions are led by a few trainers and are kept a little shorter than usual, so there is plenty of time on the water.
Participants sail either aboard a keelboat with two trainers and two to three young sailors, or in small kayaks, either on their own or alongside a trainer. Along the way, the young sailors also learn practical seamanship such as tying knots, ship terminology and the rules of the road at sea.
