If you are a skipper or navigator with previous experience, this intensive course will help you to broaden practical experience by consolidating the knowledge acquired in the official practices of nautical qualifications, taking for granted that they are not enough to be a skipper who guides your crew in moderate weather conditions. .
It is a 16-hour course, divided into two days of 8 hours each. It will be taught on board a Lagoon 42 catamaran located in the port of Baiona (Pontevedra).
The course will be carried out with a maximum of 4 students, so it is a fairly personalized training.
The instructor of this course is an altitude skipper (Merchant Navy), a professional recreational skipper (PPER), an offshore Yacht master (RYA), an instructor of Spanish nautical qualifications, a marine biologist, etc. It has more than 20 years of experience training skippers and crew members in coastal and offshore navigation. More than 20,000 miles sailed guarantee it.

    Realmente no fue Mar quien impartió el curso sino Anna. Persona muy agradable y con mucha experiencia en la navegación. El curso está muy bien ya que es diferente a otros incidiendo en maniobras en puerto, preparación del barco antes de partir, maniobras en agua, trimado de las velas,...

    Course for Patterns.
    <br> A fully recommended experience for anyone who wants to see how the theory of sailing can become a reality, even despite the weather conditions. Very practical course that gives you a lot of confidence.
    <br> An instructor who achieves this deserves an outstanding grade.

    Really the best Charter by far that I have rented. Mar gave us all kinds of facilities, recommended places to go, the boat is impeccable and it shows that they are very good people. I rented it for two days and I was able to visit the Cies Islands and anchor in a dream site that he recommended. It is true that time accompanied us but I think it is an area to discover, but above all the quality of treatment. thank you sea
