Have you just obtained a nautical degree but need to reinforce your knowledge of sailing before going sailing with the family?
Do you want to know in depth the maneuvers of a sailboat?
This summer would you like to sail around Majorca as a family, but are you afraid to start that adventure because you don't know the most recommended anchorages?
Do you need a master's degree in meteorology to always be able to make the best decisions?
We want to help you navigate safely, taking care of your crew, material and the environment, without scares. All the more so since your family usually accompanies you on vacations, which you have to take care of exquisitely, lest they not get hooked on your favorite hobby.
For this, nothing better than a "prequel" to your vacation: some reinforcements of sailing practice of more than 300 nm to sail in 8 days, from Saturday to Saturday, starting from Barcelona (Premià de Mar) in the direction of Mallorca . We will completely surround it, we will reach the Cabrera Natural Park, we will anchor in the most advisable coves, we will comment on the dangers of certain areas, we will rationalize the collection of food, drinks and fuel...
You will assume the role of skipper and crew member alternately, making the decisions yourself, with the appropriate guidance.
It will give us more than enough time to work on:
• Pre-departure security checks.
• Route planning.
• Tricks for an effective night watch. What to do solo Know the basic stars. Defeat control. RIPA.
• Trim workshops. Correct setting of the sails upwind, across and long. Donkey ears. Use of the backstay. Man overboard recovery maneuver under sail. Sail solo.
• Order of operations when making a boarding. Candle care. jibing.
• Sail in bad weather. Take curls. Forecasts.
• Anchoring maneuvers. Buoy take.
• Review of beaconing.
• Advanced use of instrumentation. Pilot, Radar and AIS in a modern plotter.
• Action in emergencies (fire, leak, trailer).
Every day we will do the meteorological analysis that will allow us to know the certainty of our defeat.

I am passionate about the sea who enjoys sharing knowledge of sailing. My purpose is to infect you with a little of the love I have for the sea; if I succeed, you will not be able to unhook, so be careful.

Boat details

Our boat is a 38 foot sailboat, launched in 2004. Ideal for cruising and prepared for regattas. With dimensions of almost 12 m in length and 4m in width, it can comfortably accommodate 8 crew members, distributed in three double cabins and a table in the saloon that can be used as a double bed. Its 55 hp engine and sails allow it to cruise at 7-8 knots effortlessly.

It is like a floating bungalow that we take care of with great care. It is equipped with a kitchen, refrigerator, television and a sink with shower. Another additional shower is installed on the deck.

Outside we have mats. Its awning, bimini, side protectors and anti-spray hood allow us to protect ourselves from both the sun and bad weather. For crossings with long stays in port we can also transport a portable air conditioning unit.

A zodiac with a 2 HP motor and two paddle-surf boards provide us with mobility and fun from the anchoring area. There is also material for snorkeling.

The boat, mechanically revised every year and constantly tested in regattas, is equipped for high altitude navigation with radar, AIS, plotter, life raft and all the necessary safety equipment, according to the new DGMM requirements.

    Buscábamos una salida al mar, un barco y un patrón. Encontramos esa salida al mar, ver la costa con perspectiva, un barco que respondía noblón y un patrón que nos hizo pasar unas horas fantásticas! El Maresme y el Mediterráneo, de nuevo, nos cuidaron y nos presentaron a Juli y a su barco. Para en otra, repetir. Grcs!

    Experiencia inmejorable, era justo lo que necesitaba. Tras obtener mi titulación todavía no tenía confianza para alquilar un velero con la familia; Juli ha sido un instructor excepcional, se hace muchísima práctica de maniobra en un velero super cuidado de características muy parecidas al que quiero alquilar.
