Beneteau Platu25 racing

Sailing novices will definitely learn basic sailing skills well aboard Platu25 because every single move of the body, every inch of pulled or eased sheet and even the slightest wind change will be reflected on the movement of the yacht. Intermediate sailors who have already spent some time under sails (of a cruiser) will improve their sailing senses, while experienced sailors will get an extra opportunity to measure the skills of their competitors when sailing Platu25.

FAQs

What do we need to bring to sail?

Non-slip and non-marking sailing shoes, sailing gloves, sun-glasses, water, sun-block, hat, and a change of clothes would be advisable. 

What should we avoid taking?

Anything of value that you do not need to take with you! Mobile phones, credit cards, driving licence, money, etc. should be left in the car. Car keys can be brought on board in a dry bag.

Do we need to bring a life jacket?

The CBYA requires all sailors to wear a life jacket, or a buoyancy aid, when sailing on all yachts. Buoyancy jackets are available for loan at the Real Club Náutico Calpe and onboard the racing yacht.

Do we need insurance?

The CBYA recommend that everyone takes out insurance to cover sailing. A Carnet Diportivo or Licencia Deportista can be purchased from SomVela that covers all types of sailing and racing. (Club Náticos that rent yachts requires everyone sailing on a TOMs purchase insurance via a Licencia Federativa license). Click HERE for more information
