    Our patron was Daniel. He has a lot of experience and miles sailed, that shows. My expectations were met. On the first day with little wind we did maneuvers in port at different berths. On the 2nd day with wind of more than 30 km, we sailed and docked in difficult conditions. Highly recommended course.

    Fantastic! In general, an instructor is expected to have knowledge and to be able to transmit it. With him, in addition to all this, it is worth appreciating the passion with which he does it and his constant emphasis on Safety.
