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.

I have liked the organization that the school has and how the preparation boats and nets are.
Regarding the practices, sort that hi has hagut vent, but otherwise they are a boring mica, and trobo that is gather people that is the first time that bids for a boat with people that carries some quants anys sailor and hi there is quite a difference. I don't know if this could be fixed in any way.
Tot i així, I have a high rating of the school and the instructors because they know who they are.

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.
