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 professor (Doctor) who teaches the course is excellent at teaching, explaining and letting people do it. It thus allows you to make mistakes and correct them, making the practice very valuable for learning. A top level professional.

Magnificent sailing practices. They are very well prepared and allow you to practice as much as necessary. The super friendly instructor answered our many questions and helped us understand how, when and why we do things on the boat.
