Course offered by Luis

5 hours
Available in French, English, Spanish
IMG_5834
This first course of our cycle, developed in the San Juan Reservoir (Madrid), is aimed at those who wish to start in the world of cruising sailing and have no previous experience. Your goal is to convert an uninitiated into a valid crew member in the course of a day.
We will start the session with a presentation of the safety fundamentals on board to continue with a brief theoretical presentation referring mainly to the parts of the boat and their use.
Later we will go to the water where we will spend the rest of the day in a fun navigation where we will see the essential maneuvers on board. The instructor will participate to the extent that it is necessary for safety, giving instructions and leaving the execution in the hands of the students who will rotate to occupy all the positions on board.

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.

    El curso estuvo bien, pero cuiden mucho el darle algún dato personal porque les meterá en grupos sin su permiso (dos veces, con advertencia de no hacerlo) con CENTENARES de miembros. Y en lugar de pedir disculpas les ofrecerá justificaciones y se hará el ofendido porque imagino que piensa que hacer eso no es nada malo.

    Pedir datos para facturar, es mi obligación fiscal, no vulneración de sus derechos, si le incluyo en un grupo es para poder coordinar su participación, después y a petición suya le di de baja todos los datos tal como marca la ley.

  • ¿Qué pasa en caso de que se reserve esta actividad y llueva mucho? ¿y si no hay viento?
    • Como cualquier actividad al aire libre dependemos de la meteorología, pero lógicamente no podemos responsabilizarnos de ella. Sólo se suspende automáticamente si las condiciones pueden suponer un peligro, en los demás casos salimos. La lluvia es soportable bien equipado y hay que aprender a navegar con poco viento.
