SAILING COURSE / CATAMARAN
FROM SINGLE-HULL TO MULTI-HULL
Master both hulls
A catamaran may seem easy because it doesn’t heel. You’re right.
But do you really think that in a 20-minute “check-in” before a charter, you’ll learn how to handle two engines and a superstructure as big as a sail? At Julio Verne Náutica, we skip the boring theory.
We’ll teach you the tricks so you’ll feel comfortable and confident.
(even if you don’t know it yet)
Forget about the wheel
In port, the helm is unnecessary. We’re going to teach you how to use momentum and nail those turns in just a few inches of water. Let others admire you for how well you handle yourself—not because you’re about to plow right into the dock.
The wind is your ally
A catamaran has the sail-like effect of a three-story building. We’ll show you how to play with the angle of heel and use that momentum to your advantage so that your docking isn’t the talk of the dock, but rather a well-executed maneuver.
Save on Insurance
A hull breach is expensive; on a catamaran, it’s even worse. We’ll teach you the “tricks” of trimming, riding the waves, and managing the gaff so that your only concern is where to anchor—not how to save your bond.
Leadership,
—it's not just about the title
Sailing a catamaran full of people takes a delicate touch. We’ll teach you how to manage maneuvers and your crew so that when you give a command, your guests will respond and feel confident—not like they’re in a horror movie.
What you'll achieve
you will stop just barely getting by
By the time you’re done, you’ll have the ability to anticipate momentum, avoid breakages, and the cool head needed to maneuver a giant two-hulled vessel into a docking berth.
