Maintenance, Mast Trimming and Maneuvers Course in Alicante

This event is designed to review the things to do in the maintenance of a sailboat (batteries, engine, ropes, rigging, ...) and the different navigation practices such as docking, anchoring, climbing the mast, man overboard, knots, ... and trimming the mast. The course will be conducted with an experienced instructor. It is indicated for all those who have recreational nautical qualifications and want to increase their safety. They are not the mandatory regulatory practices, we will carry out many maneuvers that you may need when you drive a boat.

Those who do not have a qualification but do have knowledge of navigation can also participate.

Take advantage of this opportunity to perfect maneuvers and see maintenance and trimming that you are not used to doing in order to gain confidence and be able to be your own skipper in the future.

A demanding and wonderful experience, looking forward to repeating next year.
Thanks to the experience of Carlos, the boss, we were second in our class.
When we were returning from Ibiza, the engine failed and it was incredible how it docked under sail in the port of Denia with a dredge in the middle and at night.

If you are looking for preparation for regatta sailing or you just want to challenge your “everyday” sail trimming habits with real fine-tuning of the sails, this course is for you. The boat is well looked after by Carlos and you can always ask him for advice.
