Sails will be raised for the first time under the guidance of a skipper after passing through the channel Ždrelac . The planned route is the channel Zdrelac-Island Krknata. Due to its sandy composition, the waters of the island of Krknata are ideal for anchoring, followed by a lunch break. After a lunch break, sailing to Sali-Dugi otok. During both sails you will learn how to set the sails and where each crew member must be at a certain time. You will learn the rules of avoiding collisions at sea, the knots you need for sailing and you will master tack ( turn in the wind ) and gybe ( turn downwind). The planned arrival in Sali is in the afternoon, followed by a practice of maneuvering the boat. The skipper will teach you the basics of navigation throughout the voyage.
