The DGMM exam preparation course consists of ten three-hour sessions that will be taught on Tuesdays and Thursdays from the initial date until the ten classes are completed. They will be held in our classrooms in the center of Madrid from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and their program will be that indicated by the BOE, RD 875 of 2014 of October 10.
Our Safety and Navigation internships take place in the Mediterranean, using the port of Grao de Castellón as a base. They are carried out on a voyage basis, lasting sixteen hours spread over two days.
We leave in the morning and we will carry out the exercises provided for by the legislation to return to sleep in port. We offer you the possibility of sleeping on board at no additional cost. We also give the option of making all meals on board at the cost of acquisition.
The Radio Course, lasting twelve hours including eight hours of practice, takes place in Madrid in our classrooms at the center, in three four-hour sessions.
For the sailing qualification and the extension of powers we will begin the journey in the port of Grao de Castellón, with a detailed review of the logistics for the forty-eight hours of navigation, including supplies. The weather forecasts will be examined and we will plan a route that allows us to sail for as long as possible within the practice requirements. It is about sailing in the greatest number of directions possible in the time available, not about covering sterile miles by motor. Based on such planning, the teams and task shifts will be organized to effectively meet our objectives. We will sleep and eat on board, with a maximum cost of €9 per day.
The content of the program to be covered will be
- Port and anchor motor maneuvers.
- Sailing maneuvers. Hoist, lower, tack.
- Navigation in adverse conditions. The reduction of the rag.
