PNB sailing practices include:
- 16 hours of practices in Port Olímpic.
- Insurance, VAT 21 %.
Method and structure of PNB sailing practices
The PNB sailing practices are carried out every month of the year in the Port Olímpic of Barcelona, aboard one of our sailboats of up to 15 meters in length.
The practice sessions are carried out on a voyage basis with a rest stop every 4 hours.
You can do them during the week on four consecutive days, with 4 hours of practice each day, or on a weekend, with 8 hours of practice each day.
You will do the sailing practices only once, since they are valid for any of the titles, that is, if you later get the PER title, this title will be enabled for sailing.
Agenda of the PNB navigation practices
The objective of the practices is that you identify what are the safety guidelines on board and that you are able to avoid risks during sailing. Special emphasis will be placed on tacking and jibing maneuvers, since during these there is a greater risk of accidents and breakdowns.
During the 16 hours of internship you will learn:
- Courses of the boat depending on the wind and maneuvers.
- Boat elements related to sailing: rigging, rigging, sails... and the most common knots.
- How sails are folded and cared for.
- How to hoist and lower the sails.
- How sail balance influences gait.
- How the boat reacts when you put the rudder to one side or another and its effect on speed reduction.
- Adjust sails depending on the course and the use of the ropes.
- How to take the waves depending on the course and its influence on the progress of the boat.
- How to carry out advanced maneuvers under sail: tackling, pairing, anchoring, leaving the anchorage under sail and safety maneuvers such as collecting man overboard, putting reefs, etc.

Week of sailing practice sessions. Molt happy to have felt that I learned in record times. We will try to practice various maneuvers at sufficient speed so that each person can do the same with his hands. Thank you Carlos for teaching us so much.
Chris –
Regarding sailing practices, I would say more understanding and patience on the part of the teacher. On the other hand, the methodology and proximity is good.

A manual with four things about sailboats and the steps to perform maneuvers would improve. Otherwise delighted. You learn a lot. And the teaching staff, very professional.

Hello, regarding the school, organization, practices, skipper (Carlos), boats, etc., everything was perfect. The best thing I take away is the experience with a good sailboat and a very good skipper. Furthermore, colleagues with more or less experience were the key. We will continue taking classes to obtain the title with you. Thank you very much to all of you.
