INITIATION IN SAILBOAT CRUISING

Marmitako Tour

Introduction to Cruising

 

Form



Discover the exciting secrets of life on board a sailing cruiser on the exciting journey of Introduction to Cruising. This is one of the maritime activities in Getxo designed for those who want to take their first steps in the world of sailing, this experience will immerse you in the fundamental practical subjects to become a skilled sailor.

From the outset, you will be immersed in the detailed knowledge of the essential parts of a sailboat. You will become familiar with each component to understand its function and usefulness in sailing. Trimming the sails is an essential skill. You will learn how to adjust them for different wind angles to maximise the efficiency of the boat.

Reefing will become a familiar practice. You will be able to adapt the sail to changing wind conditions. Docking and steaming are manoeuvres that you will master. This will give you the control you need in a variety of maritime situations. You will learn skills that will be indispensable on your travels, such as the importance of useful knots on board.

The experience is not limited to the sea, but also covers crucial aspects such as anchoring manoeuvres, both under sail and motor, and how to moor and unmoor in the harbour. This knowledge will make you a complete sailor. You will be able to face different nautical scenarios with confidence.

A comprehensive induction to help you fully enjoy the experience will immerse you in life on board. ‘Introduction to Cruising’ will not only provide you with practical knowledge. It will also introduce you to the magic and freedom that only sailing can offer. Discover the world of sailing. Start your exciting journey at the sea!
