Practical Sail and Power
A course to master all berthing manoeuvres on pontoon in all wind angles, boxes, mooring buoys and anchoring.

A nice day of cruising can easily be ruined by a disasterous berthing manouevre with lots of stress, shouting, embarresment – and entertainment for the spectators.
Who wants that?
NaviClass can learn you all the insights of how a boat turns and all tips and trick about berthing manouvres alnong pontoons, in bozes and mooring bouys on all wind directions.
