Method and structure of the course PER on board: an incredible adventure that you cannot miss.
During the 5 days of crossing aboard a 50-foot sailboat, your instructor will help you understand and assimilate the practical syllabus so that you can pass all the PER practices with guarantees.
PER practices on board:
The course begins on Monday at 10:00 a.m. at the Port Olímpic in Barcelona, with radio operator and motor navigation practices.
At the end of the day, we will organize the crew, we will make the briefing security, we will study the meteorology, we will plot the route, we will distribute the guards, the cabins and you will have free time on land to do food shopping.
In the evening, you will return to the ship to rest before the real adventure begins.
The rest of the week we will alternate motor navigation and sailing practices; and, we will cross the Balearic Islands, Menorca or Mallorca, until completing the practices of the PER ON BOARD in Barcelona on Friday.

Joan Soria –
The school and the instructor, impeccable, as always. In the spirit of being constructive, I would improve the number of students on board, to be more dynamic, I think that more than 6-8 people per boat is a lot to do sailing practices in a fluid way
