In a few words, we would like to give a brief suggestion to those who wish to enter the world of sailing by experiencing their first holiday on a sailboat.
It will be a very different holiday from others you have had, fascinating to be sure. It will require renouncing some things, but it will reward you with a taste of freedom.
Freedom from plans, freedom from clothes, freedom from noises and queues and from the crowded beaches, yes: but you will also experience life with others in close quarters, sharing common spaces. The catamaran is certainly one of the most comfortable and spacious pleasure boats, but it still requires one to leave selfishness, rudeness, disorder, discourtesy, indifference, polemics, and haste behind, on the bench at port.
It is necessary to carry on board a passion for the sea, for the sound of the wind, a great sensibility, a willingness to share, a kindness, a respect for other's things, adaptability to one's companions and an adventurous spirit.
Questi sono i presupposti per una vacanza indimenticabile e rilassante.
These are the elements that guarantee an unforgettable and relaxing vacation.
It is great to wake up and find that someone has already prepared the coffeepot and is waiting in the cockpit for breakfast, but it might be equally fun to get up and prepare butter and jam and toast for the rest of the crew. |
