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.

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.

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.

I had to do sailing practice with Miquel and he was very patient explaining the maneuvers to everyone. The boat was the Artimó, large, comfortable. I'm looking forward to doing Islas con Miquel.

Whoever makes the school, serious in the management and facilitating staff. The vaixell, Artimó, is very interested in the practices. The environment is very engrescador, both students are involved in the practice and in generating a good environment on board and the teacher is impeccable in their forms and their fets.

This weekend (April 1 and 2) we will carry out the approved sailing practices on board the ARTIMÓ. It has been an exceptional experience, the Patron / Instructor, Miquel, is an excellent teacher, it is worrying that the entire team participates and learns, without command, repeats again and again the teaching of the maneuvers so that it is ensured that all the equipment senses exceptionally understands them perfectly and is capable of realizing them all in its own right. The experience with the activity is also recommendable, we will have the great opportunity to share the practices with a great group. Obviously, the fact that the school has such boats is also a positive point. Totally recommanable and what I recommand. Excel·lent escola, bons vaixells i monitors 10.

This weekend (April 1 and 2) I did the approved sailing practices on board the ARTIMÓ. It has been an exceptional experience, the Skipper/Instructor, Miquel, is an excellent teacher, he makes sure that the entire team participates and learns, without laziness, he repeats the teaching of the maneuvers over and over again until he ensures that the entire team without exception understands them perfectly and is capable of doing them even on his own. The experience as an activity is also recommended, I was lucky enough to share the practices with a great group. Without a doubt, the fact that the school has good boats is also a positive point. Totally recommendable and I recommend it. Excellent school, good boats and instructors 10.
