Intensive course for sailing crew from Baiona

Gain confidence in sailing with this two-day intensive course that we will take on a sailing boat from Baiona.

This course is especially aimed at you if you are a sailor with no previous practical experience or if you have gaps in training in this regard due to predominantly theoretical training (PNB, PER, PY...).

We will carry out the course on one of the boats in our fleet: Grand Soleil 43 / Hanse 315 / Hanse 415 / Bavaria 34 Cruiser / Lagoon 42.

Maximum 5 crew members per course. It can be combined with the advanced course for skippers that we run in parallel, since every skipper needs a crew and vice versa. In this way, in the course we will not only practice navigation techniques but also crew management and internal communication.

Fantastic! In general, an instructor is expected to have knowledge and to be able to transmit it. With him, in addition to all this, it is worth appreciating the passion with which he does it and his constant emphasis on Safety.
