Cruise Sailing Improvement Course with Gennaker.

This course is indicated for those who have taken a course or have a minimum level of navigation.

Schedules:
☆Saturday: 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
☆Sunday: 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

If you are traveling from afar you can sleep on the boat the nights before departures. Overnight stay on boat: €30 per person per night.

You can have a complete nautical weekend, sleeping on the boat, arriving on Friday afternoon around 8:00 p.m. and finishing on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

The number of registered people will be 8 people maximum, adults only. It is ideal for all nautical graduates who want to improve their knowledge.

If you want to have the experience of sailing you can sign up with us and you will practice on a large cruise-regatta boat (First 40.7). We will try to make our slogan come true: browse, learn and enjoy.

It is also aimed at those who have some nautical qualification or experience and want to practice sailing. We adapt to your level and we assure you that you will leave with something new learned.

You will sail with an instructor with more than 30 years in the world of teaching. You will be able to have the sensation of sailing relaxed, without noise, you will only hear the wind and the waves, you will actively participate in the maneuvers, there will be a rotation of positions among all the participants in this small journey through the bay.

If the weather is good, we will go around the Island of Tabarca and you will be able to see it from the sea (the Quarry, the Port, the Islote de la Nao, the Farallones, the Islote de la Galera, the Beach,...).

If the weather permits, we will sail with a gennaker practicing the various maneuvers (hoisting and jibing) and trimming.
