If you want to learn the art of sailing on a sailboat, sign up for this sail trimming course in which we will practice the most common maneuvers and learn the basics of trimming. We will explain how to set the sails on each course to achieve good speed and stability performance.

    The instructor was Alberto, with whom I have already been twice. He is an instructor who is very patient and gives you confidence when you have to do things yourself.

    It was the second time I did this type of journey. Our skipper was not Jorge. I missed planning to see more coves and take advantage of the days. The day we went to a single cove in Ibiza, it was wasted, because we spent more time sailing to find the cove. I would propose to focus the journey on getting to know a single island.

    Excellent experience, both the skipper and the team, as well as the rest of the participants, made the day a beautiful experience. The weather was with us during the departure and the boat was very comfortable. It's a pity that the organization of the Ocean Race placed us so far away and we couldn't get closer.
