A way to tell you something more about our flotillas and the fabulous group of skippers that has been created.
The course will be held by one of our most experienced skippers and will focus on the management of an unfamiliar crew through exercises of different maneuvers in the field.You will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the real management of a boat: from planning a maneuver , to communication techniques with the crew, up to the execution of the maneuver itself. In addition to the practical side, our instructor will exhibit standard procedures and safety-checks for the assessment and improvement of risk and safety levels.
Targets The objectives are mainly three: 1. Give a first smattering of practical and theoretical knowledge regarding safe maneuvers and possible unexpected events. 2. Introduce the participants to the correct management of all kinds of crews, from those experienced to those who have never been on a sailboat. 3. Allow attendees to learn about the WindArt family and CrazySail Academy, CrazySail and SailNext experiences. Because it would be nice to have you on board next summer too!

It was a beautiful week, I fell in love with the sailboat even more thanks to Riccardo super skipper who explained many things to us. I would only improve communication before departure, many things had not been told to us and would have avoided misunderstandings. The WhatsApp group three days before departure makes very little sense.

Unforgettable experience. Davide was a fantastic captain and route manager. He answered our thousand questions, advised us well what to see and chose beautiful bays for our moorings. Federica a tireless co-skipper! Both extremely attentive and serious, but also very involved in the playful atmosphere of coexistence on the boat, which was certainly an added value to the group! I would have liked to sail a little more often, but the boat, perhaps not very "sporty", was very comfortable for nine people and a good compromise between comfort and performance, which for the needs of a holiday of this type is absolutely understandable. Poros and Hydra, not as glossy as other Greek islands, still have nice surprises in store and it was very pleasant to explore them. Overall, I would absolutely do this experience again and I will always remember this crew and the serene and light-hearted atmosphere of the days spent on the boat.
