This experience, in a nutshell

The course aims to provide notions and experience to deal with offshore navigation, the management of the boat and the crew in long navigation conditions.


The theoretical teaching (which will be addressed at sea) will mainly concern the tracing of routes, the analysis of critical points, the analysis of weather conditions; the practice is represented by 3 days of navigation on the high seas with management of the command, crew, rest times, feeding and everything related to a navigation that engages the whole day (and beyond)


COURSE RECIPIENTS:


Those who have a fair knowledge of sailing, owners and/or licensees who want to refine their skills


STRUCTURE AND LOGISTICS:The

course is divided into 3 full days (generally Friday, Saturday and Sunday) with several hours of navigation:


the nights can be the port of destination, at anchor or sailing


The course starts on Thursday evening with the embarkation and preparation of the galley and ends on Sunday at about 17:00 with the return

to the port of departure


The overnight stay and meals are on board the boat (unless the crew decides to have dinner in some restaurant in the port of call). Participation subject to possession of the annual ASD Acquaria AV

Paolo is a great skipper, he is available and never gives the impression of being in difficulty, this conveys confidence even to those like me who got on a sailboat for the first time. Then oh well humanly he is the nice and a bit messy friend that we all have or would like to have.
