Efficiency, trimming and speed workshop in Pogo 36 on the Basque …

Do you already have experience sailing and want to apply your knowledge to improve the performance of your ocean-going sailboat?

We return to the Basque Coast to achieve this and to thrill with the passing of the sailboat on which we will sail.

The Pogo 36 is a boat that reaches speeds of an ocean racing sailboat (12-16 knots) but has all the comforts of a cruising sailboat. We will learn to handle and trim the full batten mainsail, genoa, Code 0 and asymmetric spinnaker and we will see in depth the advanced maneuvers and trim of the sailboat at high speeds.

Without a doubt, a spectacular opportunity to feel the speed in your hands and thrill with a racing sailboat discovering one of the most beautiful coasts in Spain.

I went with Eduardo on a trip to the Lofoten Islands, Norway. The area is spectacular and we had 4 days of Northern Lights. Eduardo makes the environment on ships unbeatable and with him you learn a lot more about sailing than in any official course.
I loved it, I can't wait to repeat with Eduardo!

It was my first time sailing with Eduardo in one of his workshops and we took full advantage of the three days, and I learned a lot. Adverse weather conditions, and he has always left us to make mistakes, correct and correct.
Everything prepared in advance and with documentation.
