- Since our beginnings in learning to sail, the fact that for each direction with respect to the wind there is an optimal position of the sails has been a constant.
- In our fourth and last course of the General Cycle we will explore the adjustment techniques to obtain a good cruise performance.
- We will learn to correctly coordinate the sails with the rudder and how to steer the boat in different directions and situations.
- At the beginning, at 1000h, we will define the principles of setting the sails and how to use the different controls to achieve the desired results in the sails.
- We will go out into the water where we will put into practice what we have learned and we will see how we coordinate the rod with the adjustments made.
- From there we will focus on handling the rudder in different circumstances and weather situations.
- At 3:00 p.m. we will pick up the boat and return to the base

Meet Luis, the skipper
98 reviews At Sailwiz since 2018
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.

    Gran aprendizaje en el curso de trimados con Queco. Además acompañó ese día el viento en el pantano. Curso intensivo y didáctico tanto en la teoría como en la práctica!

    La actividad se cancelo y no me avisaron. Posteriormente luis contacto conmigo para pedirme disculpas por lo sucedido y ofrecerme realizar la actividad el proximo dia a un precio especial. Por parte de Sailwiz me dieron un buen soporte para gestionar la incidencia. En los proximos dias espero que me reintegren el importe del curso cancelado.

    El curso estuvo mue bien. Tuvimos un poco de mala suerte con el viento. hubo mucho y muy racheado. Tuvimos que navegard con 2 rizos por las condiciones de viento y no pudimos poner en práctica los conceptos de trimado por las condiciones meteorológicas. En cualquier caso muy recomendable.
