Valuations
Ideal to strengthen the knowledge of cruising sailing in an almost individualized way. With changing winds that require you to be permanently attentive and refreshing what you have learned. Ideal for training in view of the summer and the possibility of renting or sailing with your own boat. Completely recommended Alfonso a good teacher with patience.

After a more detailed explanation (perhaps the time we spent in the classroom could be reduced and part of the "agenda" to see it directly on the boat) of the documentation that had been sent to us a couple of days before by email (this gave us time to read it and that everything sounded to us), we went to the boat to practice what we had seen theoretically.

Good atmosphere generated by the instructor (Queco), who explained in a simple and enjoyable way each maneuver to perform, and why. Very well also with the rest of the participants.

A pity that there was little wind and we were wanting more.

A good experience that I will certainly repeat!

Queco took his course knowing what he was doing, which is not surprising being a sailor 40 years ago or in addition to his knowledge, he shared his enthusiasm and love for sailing. On the other hand, all the formal aspects of the course such as communication, punctuality, and facilities, also deserve the 5 stars,
