During night navigation, sailors need to be familiar with nautical charts, navigation lights, and safety rules. It’s important for them to have a good understanding and use of nautical tools such as GPS, radar, and marine instruments. Additionally, being informed about weather conditions and properly preparing the vessel for nighttime conditions is critically important.
Night sailing can be an unforgettable experience, but it requires serious preparation, knowledge, and respect for maritime practices and safety rules.
The training will take place on new and modern catamarans:
– Bali 3.8
