Coastal Navigation Course

Ideal as a learning experience at sea, in this activity we combine the teaching of sailing with a pleasant journey.
From the learning point of view, the course is aimed at obtaining and practicing the necessary knowledge to crew and skipper a cruising sailboat from a minimum level of knowledge.
It is the course that complements the teachings of the PER and gives us the necessary confidence for our autonomy.

Plan

Upon arrival on Friday we will spend the night on the boat. With the forecast in hand, we will organize the journey, considering alternatives depending on the expected weather.

On the first day we will insist on the necessary maneuvers under sail and on the setting of the sails for each course.

After spending the night on board at our destination, we will use the second day in boat steering techniques for each course, arriving in Castellón in the afternoon to return to Madrid.
At port entrances and exits we will see the essential maneuvers of setting sail, docking and docking.

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

Boat that combines comfort with good speed benefits for its length. Like all First, it defends its rating well for its hull design, a good size stick that supports a large sail area compensated by a daggerboard that lowers its draft to 2.35 m, and symmetrical spi. Although it is not comparable to a Swan type racer, its interior comfort makes up for it, offering good habitability. It plays a more than worthy role in regattas and offers good comfort for long stays on vacation.

I learned practically the entire sailing base with Luis in one weekend. Not only the how, but also the why. Luis knows a lot, but he is also an excellent and tireless teacher and a great person. If you have taken the PER but you have not heard anything about sailing, Luis will tell you.

I like the sea but I have no idea in handling boats. Could I do this course without anything prior, except readings? Thank you so much.
- Of course. I recommend it without a doubt
  For me it has been a great experience and it has convinced me to take more courses in the near future.
