Motor science in a small group!
For the first time, we are offering technical training for women only. It is about the function of the ship's diesel engine, engine maintenance, troubleshooting and fault rectification

This course is aimed at female sailors who have not yet or never really dealt with the ship's diesel engine. The aim is to familiarise you with the components required for the engine to function and, in the event of technical problems, to understand what is broken or how to get the jockey wheel going again.

No previous knowledge is necessary, not even a soft spot for engines and technology! The workshop content is presented in a clear and generally understandable way. It's not just about theory. On the contrary: as usual with YACHT training courses, the motto is: get stuck in! So there will be a lot of screwing and tinkering.
