Richard Castro –
My opinion about the practices is that they have been well managed: punctual, with boats and appropriate material and with professionals who have been able to transmit their nautical knowledge very well. In my opinion a 9/10. The only aspect to improve would be the number of people per boat. In my opinion, there were too many of us on the boats and it was difficult to move around, especially in the complementary sailing practices. To learn, I would prefer to have had more space.

Marcel Badia –

Practices, simulation material ok. Although I would have preferred on a Boat or in the physical simulator and not a Computer.
Susana Ramos –
I give a very good rating to the course, Elena shows that she is a great professional and that she has a lot of experience in what she explains and that she enjoys her work, and this makes us enjoy learning from her knowledge.
Mario –
Everything was perfect, I did ROCA 2 and 3 and the truth is that I found out everything, I learned a lot and it was fun.
Highly recommended.
Manuel Garrido –
Positive evaluation with the content regarding the explanations of sailing.
Joaquim Rigau Cañardo –
The sailing practices (PER) have been correct in terms of what the School is responsible for: content, material, teaching distribution and the entire teacher. Malauradament the 16 hours are shown to be absolutely insufficient and the regulations of the Generalitat are of incompetence and serious extremes. The Schools have to press in order to increase the hours of training and to achieve the minimum level adequate in order to be competent to govern a vessel under "sail" like that of the practical ones (10.6 m in length). I consider only 16 hours to be a difficult period to control.
Francisco –
Very good organization, the practices carried out with Miquel were excellent and the boat was very comfortable and safe.
Beatriz de Mora –
A very positive experience, since we were lucky to have a windy day and Miquel taught us everything we needed to enjoy the day.
The boat is very good and the organization and covid control too. Thank you so much
