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.

  • Vela de Crucero en Madrid. Curso de Maniobras

    Very good experience. Instructor is patient and explains the concepts very clearly. At first there is little wind so we take advantage to see the topics in a theoretical way, then when the wind picks up we go out to sail. From tack to tack. Highly recommended experience.

    Apart from the wind, whose goodness we cannot control, the experience has been fantastic: our skipper has managed to make the participants understand the maneuvers necessary to maintain control of the sailboat at all times. Personally, I value the explanations of the "why" of each action :-)

    Totally recommendable: Alfredo is a magnificent skipper and instructor, with a sense of humor, which is appreciated, and even when there was hardly much wind, what little there was was very well used to begin this journey in sailing.
