Navigate the Arousa estuary on a regatta boat

The VOR60 experience concentrated in one day navigating the Arousa estuary aboard this boat.
It is a route designed to be able to be navigated in a single day, but with enough duration and distance so that the participants become familiar with sailing aboard a boat designed for competition: trimming of sails, operation of grinders, sheets, halyards and coarse, etc.
A unique day on an exclusive and unique boat.

Plan

11:00 a.m.: Briefing at the Cabo de Cruz Marina (Boiro, A Coruña) on safety on board and operation of the trim systems.
Next, we will leave the port to carry out maneuvers in the Boiro cove, so that the crew becomes familiar with the trim systems.

Next, and always taking into account the prevailing weather conditions, we will sail along the Ría de Arousa, in an area between Sálvora, O Grove and Vilagarcía de Arousa.

Participants will rotate through the different tasks on board: bow, mast, piano, grinders, mainsail trimmer, genoa/asymmetric trimmer or rudder.

5:00 p.m.: End of activity.

Boat details

Racing boat (VO60) designed to sail around the world in the Whitbread Round the World, the current Ocean Race.
It was one of two prototypes built for the Japanese crew led by Chris Dickson in that competition. Since then, he has taken part in various high competition regattas such as the Rolex Sidney Hobart or the Rolex Fastnet, among others.
It is a very fast racing boat, which offers a unique sailing experience for sailing lovers.
