Catamaran Seminar
All About Catamarans
The Catamaran Seminar is a specialised practical training programme for sailors who want to better understand the behaviour, handling, and management of a catamaran.
Catamarans differ significantly from traditional monohull sailing yachts. Their width, weight distribution, stability, windage, and manoeuvring response require a different approach and a clear understanding of how the vessel behaves.
Through practical training in real conditions, participants gain the knowledge, confidence, and hands-on experience needed to handle a catamaran safely and effectively.
Seminar Objective
The goal of the seminar is to help participants understand the unique nature of catamarans and develop practical skills for safe and confident handling.
Training focuses on sailing behaviour, manoeuvring, docking, equipment use, onboard systems, and decision-making in different weather and sea conditions.
