Discover everything you need to navigate without GPS while orienting yourself with the stars on this trip to the Columbretes Islands from Valencia.
If you already have sailing experience, are intrigued by how to sail with the stars and have participated in sailing for at least 2 days, this is your chance to discover how the first navigators sailed several centuries ago.
There
will be two voyages of about 10-14 hours each and you can participate in the rotation of tasks on board and guards while learning everything you need to sail with the stars.
It doesn't matter what your level or experience in astronomical navigation is because you don't need to be 100% involved in the dynamics of position calculation, but the more you get involved, the more you'll learn.
We will sail through the incredible environment of the Columbretes Islands from the port of Valencia, on a journey in which we will learn the concepts and key points when it comes to positioning ourselves on the nautical chart using only a sextant, nautical chart, almanac and the calculations necessary to obtain the observed position.
You don't need to have any nautical qualification, but you do need to at least know the basic nautical language and, above all, to have a lot of desire to learn.
The concepts that we will practice during the astronomical journey are:
Preparing for the trip.
Knowledge of the materials needed for astronomical navigation.
Knowledge and familiarization of the sky and the stars.
Position calculation.
Browse and enjoy and share.
