Margarita 2011

We will be returning to Margarita late Feb early March 2011, we'll be announcing dates and details soon! But do let us know if you're interested, as this course fills up pretty quickly!

Superb shallow water that is accompanied with reliable wind (especially in and around March). Perfect place for early to advance intermediates and higher level sailors wanting a winter training ground to advance their level. We also seek to take a Sailing boat Safari to Coche onboard a yacht with dolphin chaperones.

TRAVEL DETAILS

Airport: Heathrow/Paris/Caracas Porlama
Transfer: Only 10 minutes to ElYaque!
What to take:
  • Shorts and rash vest weather most of the time, but take a 3mm shortie summer suit, surf shoes and very strong sun block.
  • Check with your doctor for jabs.
  • Bring a waterproof watch, so you don’t miss those cracking on water sessions!
  • DON’T CHANGE MONEY IN THE UK! Due to the ever fluctuating exchange rate you’ll get a much better Boliva rate in El Yaque. So best to take Euros or Pound travellers cheques or good old cash. There is an ATM machine, but it’s in Porlimar.
  • US 'flat pin' travel plug.
  • Mobile phones work and very good Internet cafés.
Atti Hotel
A fabulous place to stay and the staff have been there for many years and are always very welcoming. Perched 200m’s above the beach the morning and sun-downer views are stunning and very special!
Hotel Atti has a lovely pool and the best steaks in town! You won’t want to leave!

TYPICAL COURSE STRUCTURE

Margarita has a slant towards more experienced intermediates covering shorter board sailing in planing winds, covering everything from waterstarts, stance control, gybing and we’ll encourage you to try some Feasible Freestyle to take you to the next level.

Using rewarding effective Windwise Skills Training, special demos, digital video and plenty of on water coaching, you’ll get all the encouragement and assistance you need to insure you improve.

Provided you can use a harness and plane, you will be able to join the group. The levels and abilities will then be split into smaller groups, so that specific topics can be covered to suit your requirements. If you have any concern about your level for the week, please do call us and we’d be only too pleased to help.

Windwise pre-course pack with fitness and preparation advice.
5 days of expert coaching, video playback, on and off water coaching.
The Windwise local knowledge, care and service for a superb holiday.

LOCATION DETAILS
We’ve been to Margarita for over either years and it’s become a real favourite. Easy launching, plentiful, consistent, cross-shore left to right winds and warm water. It can get crowded, but we often take clients to ‘The Secret Garden’ which offers fabulous flat water and a great blast back to the bay. The beach scene is vibrant with chilled beach bars, slow service and that laid back feel. Rum is cheaper than Coca Cola and we’ll take you to some truly fabulous places to eat.
The Wind
In March your chances of wind are pretty much as good as it gets at that time of year anywhere in the world. Hence such a popular winter location. When the trades are in you’d expect to be on sail between 4.5-5.5m. Starting lighter in the morning and really building up by lunch time. If your body can handle it, you often get a good six-eight hours of solid wind a day. Plus you’ll see some of the worlds best freestylers making new moves.
See You There In March!
