Curso de vela de crucero de 5 días en la Costa Brava

Jennifer

August of 2023

This experience was connected to the sailing school. Xavi ended up not being my instructor. I was disappointed that I didn't have the same instructor all week and that one of the two had significantly less experience and ability to explain why and how. Overall, I learned a ton and if I lived closer I'd do it again!

Reply from Xavi

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I can't always be present at all activities. Beginner cruising courses follow Spanish Sailing Federation standards: initial sessions cover basics, while others address courses and maneuvers. That's why you had 2 instructors. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you again. Regards!
