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.

Todos los instructores son súper profesionales, con experiencia en muchos campos de la navegación. Mil gracias a ellos y a Escola Port.

Las prácticas están bien, y quien nos la dio, el Doctor, sabe muchísimo. Pero sinceramente esta muy mal pensado y organizado. En las practicas a motor ser 10/12 personas no molesta y se lleva. En las de vela, no deberían permitir más de 6 personas, ya que hace que la experiencia sea mala y no se llegue ni a aprender ni a practicar mucho.

Muy buena experiencia. De lo mas profesional que hoy en día se pueda encontrar en cualquier campo social, mucho mas allá del mundo de la náutica: la atención telefónica, los profesores, el instructor, la flota, de verdad que ha sido una experiencia de 10. Reconforta ver que aún hay organizaciones que velan mucho más allá de los intereses económicos y empresariales Gracias !
