Have you ever thought about taking the helm and steering a sailboat? For 3 hours you can make this dream come true and sail the sea taking the sailing course in Barcelona.
The course can be taken on one of the two sailboats available: the J80 or the J105. The J 80 for dinghy sailing and cruising is 8.50 m long. length and a width of 2.50 m. It has a lead keel at the bottom to keep the boat stable and to be able to sail against the wind.
