The specification of the practice is sea crossings, in which students use only paper maps and determine their location by dead reckoning, and also have round-the-clock watches. This is given on top of the required basic international programs.

Also, a special feature is training mooring with aft and a log. At the end of the practice, each student will have made about 30 independent mooring lines. This practice allows you to develop mooring skills and help to effectively overcome the fear that accompanies approaches to the pier in the first independent sea voyages.
