The price of the PY sailing practices includes:
- 16 hours of practices in Port Olímpic.
- Insurance, VAT 21 %.
Method and structure of sailing practices
The PY 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, your PY 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.

As always with Escola Port I learned a lot in these practices. The boats are in very good condition and the teachers have a lot of experience

My assessment is very positive, I did the sailing practice and I wanted to highlight both the great professionalism of our sailing teacher and the entire Escola Port team, thank you very much and we will surely continue to see each other in future courses.

Everything was very good, the instructor was friendly and very knowledgeable about sailing. It's a shame the weather was very calm and we had little wind.
Maria –
The practice of sailing has been developed with seriousness and rigor but in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The teacher politely explained and repeated all the concepts about sail trimming, and insisted that all students be in all positions and have the opportunity to perform all the maneuvers as many times as necessary. During all hours of practice we were active participating in all activities.

The practices went very well, despite the lack of wind, both the theory and the practice itself were excellent. David was very clear in his explanations, and made a weekend complicated by the weather, one of my best maritime learning experiences.
