ACAI RIO

The experience of sailing across the ocean is a real adventure for anyone, where you have greater contact with the forces of nature, the wind, the sea, see the natural beauty of the coast from another perspective. On board, you will make new friends and learn various techniques and knowledge that will be very useful for the rest of your life. It will also be a unique opportunity to learn a little more about yourself, your strengths and improving your development as a person to be better prepared to overcome difficulties you encounter in life.

When taking part in our sail training programme, you are encouraged to assume individual responsibilities on board and to work as part of a united group with the same goals. You will quickly feel part of the crew, assuming your responsibilities on board and participating in the whole routine during the sail training session. You will be involved in the main navigation activities, including; setting the sails, adjusting the cables, operating all equipment on board, navigating the route on the nautical charts and even steering the sailboat alone. In addition, you can participate in several other support activities; organising the navigation materials, folding the sails, helping in the maintenance and cleaning of equipment, organising the groceries and cooking on board.
