Meteorology
COURSE DETAILS
Understanding the fundamentals of meteorology will enable you to anticipate and avoid dangerous conditions at sea (storms, strong winds, swells, etc.) and, consequently, plan safer sailing routes.
The objective of the course is to develop basic meteorological knowledge so that you can assess current and future weather conditions before setting sail. Preparing a weather forecast on board will enhance the sailing experience and reduce associated risks.
The course consists of an in-person classroom theory session taught by Oscar García Flores.
REQUIRED LEVEL
No prior navigation experience is necessary.
