REALLY IMPORTANT

COURSES

At Junoplano Sailing Academy, (JSA) we think that to participate in a race, you have to be part of a crew, and being part of a crew, you have to know how to be proficient in all aspects of being on board.

The JSA does not seek paying super sailors, NO, we are looking for enthusiastic crew who become friends whom we trust, are reliable and know that when the watch changes and we sleep, will be on deck grinding and sailing the miles, safely.

To succeed in this, we have developed 3 and 5 days courses, from weekends and weekdays for non-stop sailing to understand the roles, operations, risks and variables that offshore sailing entails.

At the end, you will have covered all the crew roles and be an integral member of the Junoplano team.

The Junoplano Sail Academy organizes various courses aimed at providing you on the operating mode of a CBTF boat.

Junoplano is a Canting Ballast Twin Foils vessel :

Keel canting up to 50 degrees allows the adjustment of the boats righting moment whereas

The twin foils provide all the “side force” and are engineered to adjust the angle of attack either in opposite direction (cyclic) for steering with optimum manoeuvrability, or in the same direction (collective) for best upwind performance without leeway”

It is definitely not a common boat, and as such requires a hand at the helm different from more ‘traditional’ boats. In doing so, it enables you to realise the potential of the CBTF and their manoeuvres, always bearing in mind the issues of security and offshore sailing in the open sea even in adverse conditions.

On board there will be our instructors who will give you an in-depth knowledge, whilst safely proceeding with manoeuvres through medium-range cruises, even with a small crew, with bad weather and night navigation.

The route will be on the Tyrrhenian Sea, and the port of embarkation is the Marino Carmelo, Vibo. Just minutes away from Lamezia Terme and from the airport of S. Eufemia International Airport.
