Sailing conditions in Catalonia

• No tides at all and just small currents if any

• Winds in winter are always unpredictable, but very frequently we have thermic winds from 210º, in a range between 8 and 15 kt

• Water temperature will be about 14C and air temperature about 12-18C

• Sunny days most of the time

We offer a complete service to sailors. Come to Catalonia before the Christmas Race and leave your boat here until the end of the Velanium Trophy. Come to sail whenever you want; just take a low cost flight to Barcelona or Girona and enjoy the Mediterranean winter sailing. In your absence, we can take care of your boat, we will take charge of the repairs if any is necessary, we can collect you at the airport and take you there at the end of the regattas or the trainings. There are not big distances between the venues, but if you want we can even transport your boat for you to the next regatta venue. Come with your own coach or just train with our really experienced stuff. If your level was comparable (*), and there were available places, you could even train with our local fleets. (*) One day of private training will be necessary to certify your level.
