If you already have a nautical qualification or have some experience sailing and are thinking about being responsible on board for your own nautical experience or learning everything that comes with leading a voyage, this is your workshop!

Take the next step to become responsible and skipper of the sailboat. In this training through Rías Baixas from Vigo, you will learn to skipper, organize the voyage and the crew, and do everything necessary so that your next crew has the experience of their life.

It is not necessary to have a nautical qualification, but you do need to know the basic nautical language and, above all, be eager to learn every day.

We will practice during the Workshop:
-Passage planning
-Weather analysis and routing
-Entry/Exit and maneuvers in port
-Efficiency in navigation maneuvers
-Advanced sail trimming
-POB maneuvers and castaway rescue
-Navigation in bad weather
-Night navigation and guard management
-Calculation of tides and currents
-Motor/sail anchoring
-Accommodation between ships
-Simulation of emergency situations
-Regatta simulation
-Continuous improvement through UX System
-Lead, enjoy, share and learn from the crew

Due to last year's success, this year we have two dates, one with 2 sailboats (Elan 45 and Elan 40) and another with 3 sailboats (2x Elan 45 and 1x Elan 40). The students will be distributed on each sailboat based on the needs to balance levels of nautical experience.

You sign up? Don't think twice and reserve your place!

Boat details

The Elan 45 sailboat is very spacious both on deck and in the kitchen area, living room and cabins. It has two double cabins and one with a double bunk. Two bathrooms, one in the common area and one in the bow bathroom.
Wide bimini for anchoring, and easy to fold during navigation to see the sails well and maneuver.
Very good navigation with little wind and easy handling in more demanding navigations.

    A well planned, organized and executed workshop. Designed by expert sailors for sailors who one day want to be one and who, first, will have to overcome a lot of fears that arise continuously in the workshop and have to be resolved by aspiring skippers.
    Perfect mix of learning and fun.

    A highly recommended navigation workshop for the quality and combination of practical experience sailing and applying maneuvers and techniques, together with the theoretical review of everything there is to know to skipper a sailing boat. The team of instructors make a difference with their knowledge and human quality.
