Course offered by Luis

These internships consist of a forty-eight-hour journey in a triangular route along the north coast of Castellón and the Columbretes Archipelago and double your title as Recreational Boat Skipper.

- Obtaining the qualification to sail, which will serve you for this title and any higher one that you approve later.

- Enabling you to govern a pleasure boat of up to 24 meters and allowing you to pass from the Peninsula to the Balearic Islands.

We could have chosen a crossing to the Balearic Islands as many others do, but the prevailing winds mean that the outward journey is by motor nine times out of ten, with the return almost always also by motor or in a monotonous route under linear sail with fin winds. There is hardly any time left to learn to sail and conveniently cover the objectives set by the two practices, which are to make a long-term journey and learn to sail.

  • Plan
    We will begin the journey in the port of Grao de Castellón, with a detailed review of the logistics for the forty-eight hours of navigation, including supplies. The weather forecasts will be examined and we will plan a route that allows us to sail for as long as possible within the practice requirements. It is about sailing in the greatest number of directions possible in the time available, not about covering sterile miles by motor. Based on such planning, the teams and task shifts will be organized to effectively meet our objectives.

    The content of the program to be covered will be

    - Port and anchor motor maneuvers.

    - Sailing maneuvers. Hoist, lower, tack.

    - Navigation in adverse conditions. The reduction of the rag.

    - Adjustment of the sails depending on the course.

    - Efficient steering and coordination with the trim.

    - Sailing approach and anchoring maneuvers. The taking of buoy and the use of the auxiliary boat.

    - Night navigation. Execution of maneuvers at night.

    And all this carrying the wheel and the sails from the first day.

Other information

At the end of the course, a certificate of completion of practices will be delivered with the indications to register the qualification in DGMM.

Yacht captain and PPER with extensive experience in crossings and regattas. I enjoy sailing in almost any situation, relaxed on vacation or competitive of regattas. I do not care about the bad weather or sleep little or anywhere but I detest the problems of coexistence on board.

Boat details

Boat that combines comfort with good speed benefits for its length. Like all First, it defends its rating well for its hull design, a good size stick that supports a large sail area compensated by a daggerboard that lowers its draft to 2.35 m, and symmetrical spi. Although it is not comparable to a Swan type racer, its interior comfort makes up for it, offering good habitability. It plays a more than worthy role in regattas and offers good comfort for long stays on vacation.

    A Professional Pattern, Monitor, with full knowledge and teaching capacity. Totally recommended as a nautical professional, teacher and person.
    The route could not be completed until Columbretes due to the Meteo and with this, he even allowed himself to see his high level of good sense.

    Out of 10. A highly recommended experience. Luis is a great patron. Tireless until the last day explaining all the details of the journey. The truth is that I have come back very happy.
