.Kites like Gennaker, Blister, Spinnaker and Code 0 are different Sails for different wind angles and wind strengths. This Race Boat Training focuses initially on the differences between the various sails and basic handling and a lot of sail trim. Especially on the Upwind Sailing during the Race Boat Training is a lot around Headsail and Mainsail Trimm. It is not yet about fine tuning in all Areas and perfect manoeuvres, but about getting the various sails up and down safely. By the end of the 3 days, it should be clear when which sail makes sense and how different Kites are attached, set and trimmed.

When you next sail your own trip as a skipper, hopefully you will have an additional sail on board and will set it as often as possible.

To participate in the Race Boat Training on „Petit Chasseur“ Archambault M 34, I require good sailing skills. A sailing licence is not necessary, but you should have sailed approximately 500 nautical miles, e.g. on the Atlantic or Med. Miles sailed on small keelboats under 9 metres with tiller steering or dinghies are welcome and count double. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Previous Race Boat training or similar sailing courses or training are also helpful.

We sail with a sporty 10-metre boat, which requires a certain degree of athleticism and physical fitness from the crew. We are on board for about 7 hours a day and also sail in rain, calm or strong winds, weather permitting.

Of course, we can’t just sail downwind, so upwind trimming is also included in the Race Boat Training. Thanks to the modern electronics on board, it is always possible to monitor performance closely.

The various sails from One Palma on board are rarely found in a sailing school or on a charter yacht. Whether you want to sail the gennaker on a Racing boat or set the Code 0 while cruising, it doesn’t matter, as I can always explain the differences as far as possible.
