The twelve-day INTENSIVE course takes place on board a sailing yacht, on which you will not only take a theoretical and practical training course, but immediately immerse yourself in the atmosphere of yachting - “yachting as a lifestyle”!
The training course takes place like a trip on a yacht - this is when a yacht with a crew makes a day trip from one port to another every day.
During the transition, the team learns to manage the yacht, diverge from other vessels, solve navigation problems, consolidating the studied theoretical material.
Every day, according to the established schedule, in turn, each becomes a skipper for the day, whose duties include organizing the activities of the whole team, and this is preparing the yacht for going to sea, supervising food preparation, cleaning, independently drawing up a sailing plan and much more.
The cost of the course includes:
- accommodation on the yacht and use of all equipment on the yacht (shower, toilet, stove, refrigerator, etc.);
- use of training equipment (textbooks, maps, rulers, compasses, direction finders, binoculars);
- use of technical equipment of the yacht (electronic devices, including VHF radio station with AIS, chartplotter, autopilot);
- use of sailing equipment;
- use of a rubber boat ("tuzika") together with a motor;
- bed linen, except for towels, which must be brought with you.
During the training trip, there will be additional expenses, which are paid by the trainees and guests in a club, with the exception of the instructor: fuel, parking, transit log, blue card, food.
All of the above additional expenses will average 15-20 € per person per day.
