Cruising sail in Madrid. Maneuvers Course

As the second chapter of our program, this new sailing improvement course is especially indicated for those who, having previous experience in cruising sailing, wish to deepen their learning process. The participant will leave this day equipped with solid knowledge to be a competent crew member on board a sailing cruise.

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.

Well explained the theory and practice by Octavio correcting us and giving us the whys. Always very accessible when it comes to asking questions. The pity was the day with little wind during part of the practice although other things could be practiced.
In general, a good experience and to repeat!

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
