Ep 167 Can You Really Learn to Sail on Vacation? We Tried It in Croatia.

Can you really learn to sail on vacation? Our beginner sailing trip in Croatia put it to the test—with first-time sailors learning to sail, explore, and work as a crew.  On our latest Awesome Factory sailing trip, our crew explored Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast while learning to sail along the way. They weren't just sightseeing. They were catching mooring balls, tacking, and putting their new skills to work—including during an unexpected man-overboard maneuver involving a six-foot cushion. We also share what we learned returning to Croatia for a second sailing experience, from new anchorages and better provisioning to finding a rhythm that made the trip even better. If you've ever wondered whether a first sailing trip could really teach you to sail—and whether you could do it—come along. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rate. Review.
