The teaching programme will be set up by Andrea at the beginning of the stay in accordance with the weather forecasts, the level and expectations of the crew members.
Participants will be welcomed on board in the late afternoon the eve of departure. The first evening is an opportunity to get your bearings, plan the following days and get to know the equipment.
First two days will be dedicated to discover or resume climbing or spent getting familiar with the boat and assessing the sailing level and expectations of each participant.
From the third day onwards, sailing and climbing sessions will take turns.
Sailing sessions will take place during daytime with the aim of dropping anchor or getting into port before nightfall.
For the climbing days, a picnic will be prepared to have a lunch break next to the crags. The sites generally require a short walk of between 30 and 60 minutes.
The last day is dedicated to the tidying up and departures.
