The price of CY sailing practices includes:
- 16 hours of practices in Port Olímpic.
- Insurance, VAT 21 %.
Method and structure of sailing practices
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 have already completed them with the PER or the PY, your CY will be enabled for sailing.
Sailing practice agenda
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.

The experience I had at the school with instructor Charlie was exceptional. Not only did I learn the technical skills necessary to operate a sailboat safely and effectively, but I also enjoyed the passion and knowledge that Charlie shared with us. Her patient and hands-on approach made each session both educational and exciting. I would recommend this school and this instructor to anyone who is interested!

Joan Soria –
The school and the instructor, impeccable, as always. In the spirit of being constructive, I would improve the number of students on board, to be more dynamic, I think that more than 6-8 people per boat is a lot to do sailing practices in a fluid way

They have been very well organized practices. Incredible boat and crew. Emi was at 200%. Teaching, practicing, practicing again until everything goes well. The truth is that everything is very good.
We will surely join the navigation club to deepen our seafaring knowledge.
Maria Guida –
Very good experience sailing practices with David Lorente, great professional, very attentive and very pleasant treatment. We have learnt a lot.
If the group was restricted to fewer people it would be even better.
