Designed for:
Those who can already sail (can anticipate an accidental gybe) and are up to Competent Crew level with a basic understanding of navigation.
Our Aim:
To enable you to skipper a yacht by day safely on short passages in non-tidal waters. The course qualifies you for the International Certificate of Competence (only available to British Citizens), which is often required if you sail or charter in European countries.
Program:
Days 1 & 2 are about safety and boat handling the "Mediterranean way" under sail and power. Days 3, 4 and 5 we circumnavigate Menorca covering skippering techniques, yacht management, pilotage and navigation. We explore beautiful unspoilt coves each lunchtime. Evening stops may enable us to go alongside, in the spectacular walled 16-17th- century ex-capital port of Ciudadella after a night entry; and the pretty old fishing harbour of Fornells, famous for its great seafood restaurants.
