PNB sailing practices include:
- 16 hours of practices in Port Olímpic.
- Insurance, VAT 21 %.
Method and structure of PNB sailing practices
The PNB sailing practices are carried out every month of the year in the Port Olímpic of Barcelona, aboard one of our sailboats of up to 15 meters in length.
The practice sessions are carried out on a voyage basis with a rest stop every 4 hours.
You can do them during the week on four consecutive days, with 4 hours of practice each day, or on a weekend, with 8 hours of practice each day.
You will do the sailing practices only once, since they are valid for any of the titles, that is, if you later get the PER title, this title will be enabled for sailing.
Agenda of the PNB navigation practices
The objective of the practices is that you identify what are the safety guidelines on board and that you are able to avoid risks during sailing. Special emphasis will be placed on tacking and jibing maneuvers, since during these there is a greater risk of accidents and breakdowns.
During the 16 hours of internship you will learn:
- Courses of the boat depending on the wind and maneuvers.
- Boat elements related to sailing: rigging, rigging, sails... and the most common knots.
- How sails are folded and cared for.
- How to hoist and lower the sails.
- How sail balance influences gait.
- How the boat reacts when you put the rudder to one side or another and its effect on speed reduction.
- Adjust sails depending on the course and the use of the ropes.
- How to take the waves depending on the course and its influence on the progress of the boat.
- How to carry out advanced maneuvers under sail: tackling, pairing, anchoring, leaving the anchorage under sail and safety maneuvers such as collecting man overboard, putting reefs, etc.

Creo que para las prácticas de vela, sería mejor hacer algo de teoría, rumbos, posición de las velas … al menos adelantarlo en formato digital para que los alumnos lo puedan entender mejor. Comenzar directamente en el barco complica el aprendizaje

Me han encantado las prácticas de vela. La verdad es que no pensaba que fueran tan completas. Los dos monitores super bien. Un par de días había viento fuerte y fue ideal para navegar en condiciones más duras.

La experiencia vivida este fin de semana, con mi primera práctica a vela, es de 10/10. Partiendo de la base que, al llegar un poco tarde por la manifestación del 8M, me esperaron en el muelle y me llevaron en la motora hasta el velero. Una vez allí, realizamos diversas maniobras, con sus respectivas explicaciones muy enriquecedoras. La sensación que se tiene al realizar las prácticas con Escola Port, es que verdaderamente perteneces a un club náutico, es algo más que una empresa, es el disfrute conjunto de una actividad, por aquellos que nos encanta el mar.
