CVPA to host second Adaptive Sailing Introduction and Skills Development Workshop

The event will take place in Andratx from the 24th to the 26th of November, offering 14 places and theory and practical training in Hansa 303 and RS Venture boats.

For the second consecutive year, the Real Federación Española de Vela (RFEV), with funding from the Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD), is organising an Adaptive Sailing Introduction and Skills Development Workshop, to be held from the 24th to the 26th of November at Club de Vela Puerto de Andratx. The initiative welcomes both experienced sailors and people with disabilities interested in taking up sailing.

Over the three days, participants will receive theory and practical training, both ashore and afloat, delivered by specialist adaptive sailing instructors. Sessions will use Hansa 303 and RS Venture boats, combining introductory sailing with opportunities to develop existing knowledge and sailing skills.

The event includes two nights’ full-board accommodation and a transfer from the airport to the club. Participants will be responsible for their own travel from home to Palma de Mallorca.

There are 14 places available, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. To apply, those interested should email velaadaptada@rfev.es with their full name and mobile phone number, attaching copies of their Spanish national identity card (DNI) and 2026 sailing federation licence. The registration deadline is Friday the 20th of November.

Once the available funding has been exhausted, the RFEV reserves the right to accept additional registrations depending on participant numbers.

For further information, contact Juanjo Beltrán at Club de Vela Puerto de Andratx on 669 90 21 45, or the RFEV at msanchez@rfev.es or on 942 226 298.
