Boat details

This ship is a Vagabond 47 model ketch built in 1979 in Taiwan.

It is a sailboat used mainly for school activities and trips. It has a wide continuous deck to practice maneuvers without having to stay in the cockpit, together with magnificent sea conditions.

It is a boat from 1979, very seaworthy and very habitable. The cabins and bathrooms have the basic amenities. It is an old ship with good maintenance, but no frills. Ideal for relaxed and practical trips.

    Good morning, the experience has generally been good. I highlight the Captain's decision not to head to the Balearic Islands due to the weather information, and then it was confirmed by the
    electrical storm that occurred on the night of Saturday to Sunday. A big hug and until next time

  • Hello, what is your planned route? Will you be going to the Balearic Islands or some other area?
    • The route is determined by the pattern depending on the state of the sea and the weather. It is not common to go to the Balearic Islands, although in some cases this route can be taken. Night cruises, moorings, sailing practices, day and night guards are carried out, regardless of the route, which is decided by the skipper and in no case is it predetermined.
