2-Week Skipper Training & Mile Building with Night Passage in the Canary Islands
sunsailing.ch 
Two weeks of sailing practice in the heart of the Canary Islands: in the first week you'll intensively train all the essential skills of a skipper or master. In the second week you'll put what you've learnt into practice on a challenging mile-building trip.
Week 1: Skipper Training on Lanzarote
In the south of Lanzarote the focus is on active training. Harbour manoeuvres, berthing and departure, crew leadership, navigation, weather planning, safety on board and decision-making are practised in real situations. The aim is to build confidence and routine for your own skippered trips and to take on responsibility on board.
Week 2: Mile Building Lanzarote → Tenerife
Then we set off on a longer passage. From Marina Rubicón on Lanzarote we sail via Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria to Tenerife. Over approximately 250 nautical miles we deepen what we've learnt through island passages, offshore legs and an exciting night passage. Watch systems, navigation, weather routing and crew management are applied under real conditions.
