Regatta Workshop in Vigo

The workshop is focused on people with some nautical experience of all levels, with or without qualifications, who want to learn to manage a cruising sailboat while feeling the excitement of competing in real regatta situations in a close and safe environment.

We will study racing strategy and tactics in depth and practice all specific racing maneuvers, starts, windward/leeward buoy turns.

We will see how to trim the sailboat to obtain its greatest efficiency, how to use the regatta regulations in our favor and we will compete between the two sailboats in real regattas with a field and regatta officer who will record us every day to review and correct errors and repeat things we have done. done well.

We will use full-batten larger, headsails and Symmetrical Spi in each of the two Elan 37s, one more technical dedicated to national regattas and the other with more comfort. The students will rotate between the two boats.

We will wait for you!
