Understand how a sailboat works and the crucial role of sails: Learn how sails work and how they influence navigation. You will understand the aerodynamics of sails and the theory of wind flows, two key concepts to become a high-level sailor.
Trimming sails in different conditions: We will teach you how to trim sails for different courses (upwind, across, broadside and downwind) and wind intensity. You will master trimming to optimize the performance of your sailboat in all circumstances.
Advanced Sailing: Learn to handle the sailboat upwind, downwind and in downwind winds.
