Advanced Sailing – What makes it advanced?
Advanced sailing will help you gain experience, practise your sailing skills, while some can choose just to relax. After six days on the boat, you are ready for new sailing adventure, like cruising to Mljet, Korcula and Vis, Dubrovnik, Losinj.
Here is a brief overview of the knowledge and skills you will acquire in this program.
Preparing sailboat for the cruise
We can say that the sailboat is ready for a cruise when the boat is checked and the fridge is full. Consider all things you will need during the sailing.
Navigation
Navigation is the skill of taking a boat from one place to another. You will adopt the following terms and use in practice:
Geographical latitude
Geographical longitude
Measurement units in navigation
Orientation at sea
Sea charts
Navigation at night
Sailing in course
If we want to sail from a point A to a point B and the wind allows us to do it without manoeuvring, i.e. we sail in a straight line – that means that we sail in course. You will repeat and perfect: luff up, bear away, tack and gybe.
Spinnaker
Very often this type of sail is referred to as an incomprehensible, complicated and expensive sail, very prone to tearing. All of that is true; however, it is also true that the spinnaker is used to increase the boat’s speed when sailing downwind.
Meteorology
Meteorology is the science which investigates weather and weather phenomena in the Earth&’s atmosphere. Term “weather” in its basic sense refers to the changes occurring in the atmosphere, from the sea level to the height of about 10 to 11 km above sea level.
Man-overboard
You will practice rescue at sea, and for the practice purpose, we’ll use the buoy.
Climbing the mast
Land ahoy!
Approaching the shore
One of the most important exercises at the advanced sailing course; out from marina in to marina, out from marina in to marina, out from marina in to marina …
Maritime radiotelephony service
General connecting procedure
Special procedures
Distress signal and message
Urgency signal and message
Safety signal and message
Priorities in radio communication
System of digital selective calling
General notions on engines
Which engines are more suitable for sails, what they serve and how they are maintained.
