This experience, in a nutshell

An educational weekend designed to really improve your sailing technique , including practice, maneuvers and life on board.

We get on board on Friday evening, from 18:00 onwards, we will do the galley together and spend the first night on the boat, to immediately get into the rhythm of navigation.

Saturday is dedicated to getting to know the boat, its instruments, the position of the halyards and sheets and sails: we will go out to sea to sail putting into practice all the gaits, in any wind condition, whether it is light wind or strong wind. We will sail along a triangle path between Cala dei Medici, the dry lighthouse of Vada and Quercianella: a concrete opportunity to hoist and use different sails, from the Gennaker to the Code 0, repeating the exercises several times.

The return is scheduled in the afternoon for an aperitif in the port and a moment of discussion on the maneuvers carried out, followed by a dinner on the boat or in a typical Tuscan tavern.

On Sunday it is repeated, with further maneuvering tests already in port before going out under sail again.

The return is scheduled for the late afternoon, for 17:00, with the satisfaction of having acquired greater safety and awareness in navigation.

An intense, practical and fun weekend, ideal for those who really want to grow up sailing!

Beautiful experience and fantastic beautiful and wild northern Corsica. Very comfortable boat. Francesco the skipper in addition to being an excellent connoisseur of the sea and the places, is an excellent cook and connoisseur of local products. P.s. avoid yogurt in the galley!

If you are looking for a boat experience with a trained skipper: choose francesco! Experience, passion, knowledge and more: excellent (mouth-watering) culinary skills. Francesco certainly does not lack the enthusiasm that he transmits to the whole crew by creating cohesion (crew by the way fantastic in my week). Spacious and comfortable boat. Ps: a piece of advice?! No yogurt in the galley 🤣

Unforgettable sailing holiday with Francesco: an experienced skipper, attentive and always available. In addition to guiding us to beautiful bays, he surprised us with his skills as an exceptional cook. Great people on board, perfect atmosphere from start to finish. An experience that I absolutely recommend!
