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.
The knowledge and mastery of maneuvers on board will be our field of learning, learning to evolve the boat with the engine to govern it efficiently in port maneuvers. We will review the problems of the different balances on board, their consequences and how to implement them. The essential sailing maneuvers, with a detailed analysis of their casuistry and execution, will complete the matter to be discussed.

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.

    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 :-)

  • 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
