Practical boating
Start from Sotogrande. Each day, the yacht makes a crossing to a new mooring point. The emphasis is on mooring. Mooring practice in marinas. Management of the yacht under sail. Every element is analyzed and practiced, skills are practiced.
Navigation .
Every day we do a preliminary navigational charting to the next mooring. Only paper maps are used. Afterwards you navigate using navigation tools to determine your position.
You are both sailor and captain.
During the training all cadets change roles and act as: sailor, captain, navigator (responsible for navigation).
Summing up of the day
In the evening you will analyse what mistakes were made during the study day.
