Catamaran Skipper Training book

atamaran training, harbor maneuver training, skipper training often take place without accompanying information. You come unprepared for catamaran maneuver training week, without any premonition what to expect during your catamaran skipper training week. It acts like applying for your driver's licence. You learn a lot in an hour, but after 3-5 days you have forgotten some of catamaran - skipper training again. In the catamaran training book, you can read step by step each individual catamaran maneuver exercise. The instructions are not exhaustive, as in different wind conditions and water currents more or less engine thrust must be given. But after a week you will be able to charter a catamaran independently (if you have a basic sailing license). Instead of ordering the Katamarantraining book directly for € 35, -, you can read the revised catamaran maneuver descriptions also in chapter KATAMARAN GLOSSARY.

We lay out both ball fenders and practice a variety of parking maneuvers between the two ball Fender.
