I have experienced sailing practices with great intensity, with my colleagues all working together, with very good harmony and when executing the work maneuvers, all in very good synchronization. The teacher was very pleasant, professional and also created a very fun atmosphere based on the responsibility and seriousness that comes with sailing with a boat of such size and inexperienced people. Thank you very much to all.

Memorable experience of my sailing practices. With a wonderful sailboat, the Aiterm, and a teacher like Jesús, I have not only learned what I need to but my passion for sailing has been reinforced. I totally recommend the experience.
Andrew –
Very good attention, advice and teachings from Jesus. The Potser group was a great team, but we have had a lot of time to complete the maneuvers and exercises that have remained clear. Curs molt recommandable.
Jose Luis Castro –
Very satisfactory in all aspects.
Guillem Barcons –
The ROCA practices, unlike the exam, have been quite disappointing, except for the session with Álvaro. No notes were given and the content of the first day was incomplete and variable according to the teacher's discretion. In the second session I realized that I had not understood many important things. Please, at least some notes or send the slides instead of the 80-page document you sent me.

The ROCA internships with Álvaro and Elena were great, they are two great professionals, they explain everything clearly and don't leave you with any doubts. It is evident that the equipment needs to be renewed and that it is a little outdated or does not work correctly.
Joan Campos –
As for the very satisfactory course. We have had problems with radios that have failed us.
