Course description
This five day Competent Crew course for beginners and those who would like to become active crew members rather than just passengers. Virtually all the course is hands on. You are the crew – without you the sails won’t go up and the boat won’t be steered.
Course content
By the end of the Competent Crew course you will have learnt Knowledge of sea terms and parts of a boat, her rigging and sails, how to handle sails, rope work, fire precautions and fighting, personal safety equip, man overboard, emergency equip, manners and customs, rules of the road, dinghies, meteorology, seasickness, sailing and day to day general duties on board.

What´s included?
All of our sailing courses take place on our Bavaria 46 Cruiser Sailing Yacht called “Millie”. She is located in Marina Naviera in the centre of Palmas main paseo maritimo.

Students sleep on board during the course. The boat has 4 double cabins, and a saloon berth. All cabins have fans but the boat is not air conditioned. We provide bedding and towels. The course costs from 995€ – 1395€pp depending on whether you choose to have your own cabin, share a cabin or select the saloon berth. If you choose to share a cabin it is important to note that although they fit 2 people, it is one bed not twin/single beds
During your course, we supply essential provisions for breakfast, lunch, two evening meals, and refreshments (tea, coffee, and water). Breakfast and lunch usually include simple items such as bread, cereal, and sandwich ingredients, while dinner typically features pasta dishes. Please be aware that snacks and personal preferences beyond these basics are not provided, so we recommend budgeting for any additional items you may require.
Stays at the home marina and at anchor are included. If students wish to stay overnight in another marina or at a mooring buoy, the cost is shared among the crew.
If you are a group you can book the entire boat privately just for yourselves. Up to 5 students per course. Please enquire for more information.
