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.

Marvelous

Everything has been very well organized. The teacher explained everything in great detail and made sure that each of the students understood the maneuvers well and was able to do them. He made sure we understood the “why” and logic of all maneuvers. He showed us several boats to demonstrate the differences in systems and designs. It has undoubtedly been a very rewarding internship weekend (emotionally and in terms of the knowledge acquired). Looking forward to continuing browsing 🙂!

The practices really went very well, the teacher demonstrated great pedagogical ability and ensured that we managed to master the exercises he proposed.

The sailing practices were very good! Alvaro of ten! As with motor, the negative point is that there are either too many people on the boat or not enough hours of practice. Thank you!
M Teresa –
They have been great, both the boat, the organization, and the teacher. Very practical and you really learn the main thing.

Fantastic sailing practices. The skipper Álvaro, a very good teacher, transmits his passion for sailing.
Luis M. de Baldomero –
The sailing practices seemed good to me. The instructor is very correct and very professional. You can see the years of navigation. A boat prepared to carry out good practices and a correct number of students per practice. I really like that there is the possibility of hiring more hours with an instructor in small groups to continue gaining experience.

Highlight the professionalism of the teachers. Jesús very intense (repeat the exercises many times to assimilate them) and Miquel explains himself fantastically well and conveys a lot of tranquility.
