A full immersion in catamaran handling. You will learn about construction, handling and mooring in detail, making your catamaran experience easier and safe on your next holiday. Controlling the catamaran in confined spaces, quietly performing a manoeuvre to anchor or quietly entering the designated berth will no longer be a problem, but fun.

Stern mooring manoeuvres at the pier
Alongside mooring manoeuvres and approaching the pier
Mooring manoeuvres with “French style” anchorage
