Gibraltar (La Linea) to Mallorca (Palma)

Since this trip involves longer open sea passages, participants should already have sailing experience and be seaworthy.
However, since this is a transfer trip, the focus is on weather navigation and reaching the stage destinations.
However, there will be opportunities for swimming stops and shore excursions, for example to Malaga, Alicante or Ibiza.

Plan

After every nautical mile, you will learn about the special conditions of a long-distance voyage and how to safely handle a yacht equipped for long-distance voyages.

This includes:
• Comprehensive safety instructions
• Guard system with night trips, two night trips are planned
• Evaluating weather reports and weather routing
• Correct reefing in bad weather
• Correct use of sails (genoa, spinnaker, genaker, code zero)
• Working with chart plotter, AIS, radar, Navtex
• Provisioning for long voyages
• Cooking on board during the trip
• Energy management on board during long journeys
• Safe anchoring
There will also be opportunities for shore excursions and swimming stops.

We sail the stages with a maximum of 6 people including skipper in 4 double cabins.

Other information

All crew members are welcome, even if they do not know the language spoken on board (english and german)

The routes with over 300nm per week are quite demanding and we also drive through the night.

There will always be a thorough safety briefing before the trips, but you should still have some sailing experience so that you are not overwhelmed.

Good sailing gear (high collar, neoprene cuffs, breathable) is a must.

Next dates

I have been going on training and holiday sailing trips for over 10 years and therefore know many wonderful places.
As a qualified nautical engineer and sailor with more than 50,000 nautical miles of worldwide experience, I can get you there safely.
