This experience, in a nutshell

Si inizia con un Check-list barca: si impara ad avere una scaletta di controlli nevralgici per la navigazione in sicurezza, attrezzatura di coperta, motore, timoneria, dispositivi di sicurezza etc.
Passage planning: si impara a fare una pianificazione dettagliata della navigazione in funzione del meteo e delle nostre esigenze.
Log book: si impara a fare un diario di bordo in cui annotare dati e controlli importanti periodicamente.
Turnazioni: si impara a organizzare un piano di turnazioni in funzione del tipo (esperienza) e del numero di membri dell’equipaggio.
Dispositivi di sicurezza ed uso del VHF, tecniche di conduzione di un imbarcazione a vela: si impara a prendere le mani di terzarolo della randa, l’uso della trinchetta e delle volanti, l’uso del Gennaker.
Navigazione notturna: elementi, rischi e pericoli da prendere in considerazione.
Tecniche di ancoraggio: tutto quello che serve per fare un buon ancoraggio.

Durante la navigazione affronteremo inoltre cenni di meteorologia, tecniche di riconoscimento della costa, cenni di carteggio, uso dell’AIS nel VHF, parleremo dei controlli nevralgici da fare periodicamente sulla barca durante la navigazione.

L’istruttore sarà comunque a vostra disposizione per tutto il corso per rispondere a i vostri dubbi a 360 gradi: come è costruita una barca, come è fatto un impianto elettrico di bordo, la timoneria, quali sono le avarie più ricorrenti, e come prevenirle o risolvere.

Lo scopo del corso è quello di fornire all’allievo tutti gli strumenti necessari per effettuare una Crociera invernale, quindi non necessariamente con il bel tempo, in sicurezza e serenità con l’aggiunta della Sagra del Totano a Capraia per dare una nota di divertimento all’esperienza. Navigheremo facendo più soste all'isola d'Elba.

La cambusa la farò io venerdì pomeriggio cosi sabato mattina partiremo subito. Contattatemi per tutti i dettagli comunque per favore, grazie.
Vi aspetto a bordo, Riccardo

To be clear: excellent experience, do it. Pros: - convenient departure, parking in Punta Ala, boarding and disembarking luggage directly in front of the boat; - A great skipper, nice, we sailed whenever we could, that is a lot of hours; - if you are sick of the sea, traveling by sail, only with the sound of the sea and the wind, is an experience; - the roadsteads visited are more than enchanting, so the dozens of baths taken are one better than the other; - the skipper guides the shopping and cooks VERY WELL. Fish couscous, hummus with octopus... So it optimized all the times and at the same time satisfied every palate. In addition, he went out of his way for every need. Cons: - serious voice: you sleep in extremely small spaces, several days it was hot and humid and the ventilation in the stern is entrusted to a small porthole. Fortunately, he has installed a fan in each room, but the noise is remarkable. In short, sleeping is a bit of a problem; - Not very relevant article: there is a lack of communication. Better to clarify, perhaps from Maps, which parking lot can be used. That on Mondays we need a car for shopping, what if we were all on the train? Extremely positive experience, I thank the skipper Riccardo. Don't deny it.

The skipper proved to be extremely prepared, professional and skilled in driving the boat, instilling great confidence. The only point of improvement concerns the management of the galley, shopping on Monday morning made us lose several hours of sea and it would have been much more efficient to collect the preferences and dietary needs of all the participants earlier
