More than satisfactory experience. Ana is a great professional with a lot of knowledge to share and transmit. Proof of this is that we had an extra experience, when the engine broke down and had to dock under sail. Wonderful, thank you Ana for everything you taught us and the day we spent. I'll repeat.

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.

The only experience I have is PER practices and extension of sail attribution, done in Alicante more than a year ago. Is it suitable for this course?
- Yes, in my opinion it is appropriate, then you practice, review and learn new things, you already know that navigation, like many things, is practical. On the other hand, prof. (in my case Queco) is great, professionally and personally. The boat is very good, so in summary I highly recommend it. Greetings
