Sailing in a 33 feet racing catamaran in Barcelona

Advantages: exciting, funny, ... a perfect day
Disadvantages: you might get exhausted

...catamaran owned by 25knot.com 25knots is the only spanish company I've heard of that believes in racing catamarans. Their offer is simple: go sailing for 4-5 hours in the Barcelona coast with a 33feet high performance racing catamaran. During the 4-5 hours you have the chance to learn how to sail a radical boat. They let you stear the boat, trim the main sail, the jib, the spinniker, ... basically you play all the posible roles in a racing team. ...
...12 knots with brezes of less than 7-8 knots. If you don't peak 12 knots they give you a 50% discount. Last Sunday when we went sailing with the didgeridoo, we peaked 16 knots in a day with really small winds ... I doubt that any other boat would go faster than 7 knots. Once you have shown a minimal expertise they let you participate in a regatta with your own racing team. This is something really want to try ... you can find all the required info ...

Disadvantages: The boat is in Barcelona, so you have to take a flight

...We met with Paul, the 25Knots guy, directly in front of the boat, in Barcelona. We were 4 guys and Paul was the fifth crew member. Paul gave us an introductory speech focusing on the basics of the boat. We all had some sailing experience, but never in a multihull. The key differences when sailing a racing multihull are: - You can double the speed of a monohull (you make 16knots when others 8 knots) - The apparent wind is always coming from the ...
...daggerboards in each tack - You fly-the-hulls easily, particularly with a racing catamaran We could check these differences very shortly after raising the main and jib of the Didgeridoo once leaving the harbor: - In almost no wind we were sailing at 6 knots and right after unfurling the screacher we peaked 12 knots with less than 8 knots of wind. Paul let us take turns in steering the boat and we all tried to make the boat go as fast as possible. ...
