Expert Monitors and Safety

All our monitors are very experienced and perfectly familiar with the coasts of Minorca.

In fact, we're all in this because we love sailing in Minorca and we know these waters by heart. We've also sailed enough to have learned respect for the sea.

Ferran Martínez is in charge of organising our instructors and, like all the others, he has instructor certificates issued by the Catalan Sailing Federation. There are five of us.

I myself got my certificate through the Balearic Sailing Federation. After a great many years competing - did I say this already?- in regattas I am a National Sailing Monitor, now called training advanced monitor, both for dinghy and board sailing. Windsurf Fornells Sailing School is recognised by the Ministerio de Fomento as a Marine Sports School, registration EDN-ME-223-VL.

There are five instructors at the school. We’re proud that our clients praise us for the happy atmosphere, pleasant approach and the enthusiasm of our team.

If you are a sailing instructor and want to send us your CV, mail it to ferran@windfornells.com.

After many years of competing at national and international level, Ramón Cirera, head of the school, graduated as National Sailing Instructor for Training and Instruction at the Balearic Sailing Federation.





 
 


Safety

Our principal guarantee -the one no other school can offer- is the natural protection of Fornells Bay itself.

This is a major safety factor, you learn to sail in an area without currents, with steady winds, no waves, and, in the case of any kind of problem occurring, you go straight ashore, whatever the wind is doing, as the Fornells Bay is almost a lake open to the sea only through a narrow entrance.

We have a series of safety rules. Our monitors are constantly on watch and their presence provides you with additional safety. On passage and in regattas, our rescue vessels are constantly on guard and accompany us at all times, further guaranteeing your safety.

The mandatory insurance policy required by the Ministerio de Fomento is for civil responsibility and third party injuries up to a limit of 150.253 €.
