A course dedicated to enthusiasts, shipowners and skippers who want to gain confidence with manoeuvres in the port and in roadstead areas. You will deal with the most and least common mooring situations through practical tests and theoretical workshops on board of 40, 45 and 50 feet boats, to share and experience every aspect of this delicate phase. Controlling the boat in tight spaces, performing a good mooring manoeuvre or quietly entering, and the designated mooring will no longer be a problem, but fun.
