In this third course of our program we will learn how to handle the sails to achieve complete control, regulating the amount of cloth depending on the wind. We will also learn the necessary maneuvers to slow down and stop the boat.

We will also learn to execute approach maneuvers and mooring execution under sail in different modalities and conditions.

We will start the course practicing the techniques of reducing the rag, reefing and peeling to manage the boat in compromised wind situations.
Stopping the boat is not something elementary, because it has no brake. We will learn the techniques of slowing down and stopping the boat.

Due to different circumstances, we may need to approach the port and moor without the help of the motor. Here we will see how to do it in different ways.

Yacht captain and PPER with extensive experience in crossings and regattas. I enjoy sailing in almost any situation, relaxed on vacation or competitive of regattas. I do not care about the bad weather or sleep little or anywhere but I detest the problems of coexistence on board.

Boat details

Day cruise based on the San Juan Reservoir. It is an ideal boat for teaching due to its capacity and nobility of reactions, and for regattas in protected waters since its design, derived from the j80, makes it a fast and ventolinero boat. It is equipped with a spinaker maneuver, which gives it a good disposition for regattas.

    A Professional Pattern, Monitor, with full knowledge and teaching capacity. Totally recommended as a nautical professional, teacher and person.
    The route could not be completed until Columbretes due to the Meteo and with this, he even allowed himself to see his high level of good sense.

    Out of 10. A highly recommended experience. Luis is a great patron. Tireless until the last day explaining all the details of the journey. The truth is that I have come back very happy.
