Gaining miles and experience is essential for any sailor in training. Embark on this Mile Building voyage from Baiona to Cartagena to enjoy first-class sailing and training.
Once on the boat, you'll receive expert guidance from the skipper, from navigation using digital media and charts to sail trimming. You'll gain a wealth of experience and travel 750 nautical miles. The route will include a mix of day and night sailing, with the usual onboard watch system. There are many miles to cover, so we'll conduct a daily weather analysis, pushing forward unless there's a weather alert.
Our Mile Building program is designed to give you practice with instructors who will help you shorten your training time. After the sun sets, the sea seems like a very different place. In this activity, you'll practice night sailing, learning and practicing the use of electronic aids found on modern boats.
As you progress through the RYA training program, you'll need to accumulate miles for the Yachtmaster courses. In this activity, we cover 750 miles, more than half of which are in tidal waters. RYA skippers in training who need 60-mile passages are advised to first obtain the theoretical Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster qualification.
Improve your leadership, navigation, and route planning skills. Build and improve your confidence in nighttime navigation.
