Complete Cruising Sailing Course in Castellón

Very popular activity. Places usually sell out 32 days before the start

Prepare for your summer trips with this course.

In this five-day course you will learn the different sailing techniques, which will be developed in a sailing format.
As a comprehensive course, it aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the skills needed to tackle a journey.

This training involves practicing all the techniques related to sail handling and steering in all possible directions in order to be able to control the boat in any situation that may arise:

Manoeuvres both under motor and sail. Mooring, anchoring, taking on the buoy. Raising and lowering sails, tacking, gybing, stopping, reducing sail.
Use of auxiliary vessel.
Adjusting and setting the rig. Theory and practice of advanced mainsail and jib trimming. Efficient boat handling. Coordination of sails and rudder.
Sails carrying both gennaker and spinnaker, maneuvers and trim.

The programme will take place on a sailing route starting in Grao de Castellón and stopping at neighbouring ports.

Plan

We will begin training with the essential maneuvers on board and we will practice them during the day until they are well internalized.

Next we will look at sail optimization techniques based on heading and conditions, and their coordination with the rudder.

Once we have mastered the use of rigging and the wind conditions allow it, we will introduce the use of a gennaker and, once this sail is understood, the spinnaker.

We will choose the most suitable day to learn how to perform manoeuvres in port with a motor and to perform emergency manoeuvres under sail when the engine is not operational.

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.

A Professional Pattern, Monitor, with full knowledge and teaching capacity. Totally recommended as a nautical professional, teacher and person.
The route could not be completed until Columbretes due to the Meteo and with this, he even allowed himself to see his high level of good sense.

Out of 10. A highly recommended experience. Luis is a great patron. Tireless until the last day explaining all the details of the journey. The truth is that I have come back very happy.
