This is our last stage in this course, to which we will arrive with a well-established knowledge, both theoretical and practical, of the contents of the two previous levels, Initiation and Intermediate, which will allow us to face the last level with a complete background.

First of all, we will complete our knowledge about trimming with a complete overview of all the tools available.

The management of the vessel will play an important part and learning the techniques of evolution to sail in port will complete a stage that, if mastered both theoretically and practically, will enable us to guide our cruise ship.

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.

    It was a class on maneuvers with a monitor, Ana, who was very competent because she explained things well, with a lot of experience teaching how to sail and above all, giving confidence to the students at all times. The boat is very raceworthy and is in good condition. I will certainly repeat.

    Great learning in the trim course with Queco. In addition, the wind accompanied the swamp that day. Intensive and didactic course both in theory and in practice!

    The activity was canceled and I was not notified. Later, you contacted me to apologize for what happened and offer me to carry out the activity the next day at a special price. On the part of Sailwiz they gave me good support to manage the incident. In the next few days I hope that the amount of the canceled course will be refunded.

    The course was very good. We had a bit of bad luck with the wind. there was a lot and very gusty. We had to sail with 2 curls due to the wind conditions and we were unable to put the trim concepts into practice due to the weather conditions. In any case highly recommended.
