NAVIGATION COURSE / MONOHULL
You learn to sail by sailing
The theory is all well and good, but it’s not enough out at sea.
The best way to learn is through practice. This course will speed up your learning process and help you avoid bad sailing habits and preventable repairs. You’ll discover a boat’s limits and learn to master it.
At Julio Verne Náutica, we’ll clear up your doubts through hands-on practice and training.

The propeller effect
isn't magic
Stop struggling with the helm without being able to steer the boat where you want. We’ll teach you how to manage the propeller pitch and the wind so you can use them to your advantage instead of fighting against them.
Practical Sailing Tips
If you handle the sails like sacks of potatoes, you’ll have a much harder time controlling the boat. We’ll teach you the tricks for each course in different wind and sea conditions so you can stay relaxed.
's Weather Report for Everyone
