EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
To fully enjoy the A Bordo Fridays experience, it’s important to prepare well!
Here is a list of everything you might need:
CLOTHING
Comfortable, sporty clothing, in layers. The weather can change, so it’s better to bring more than too little: a backpack with everything is the best option!
- Footwear: sneakers or low hiking boots (preferably with white soles).
- Sailing or cycling gloves (optional, but useful for hoisting or trimming sails).
- Waterproof jacket or windbreaker, and layered clothing depending on the season.
- Cap (or a beanie and buff if it’s cold).
- Sunglasses.
- Lip balm and sunscreen.
WEATHER
The weather is always an unknown… even with the forecasts from the best apps! For us, it’s like another crew member: we adapt to it, just as we do in life.
If there’s wind… we sail full sail.
If there isn’t… we network or disconnect while gazing at the horizon.
If it rains… we cover up.
If it’s sunny… we cover up too.
And so, every sailing experience is unique. Trips are only cancelled if there is a yellow warning issued by AEMET.
FOOD / SNACKS
Since we will set sail at 2:30 pm, you will probably have already had lunch. It is recommended to eat lightly, avoiding too much fat, alcohol, or overeating before coming aboard.
The sea can change a lot, and with all the sailing activity, it’s better to feel agile than sluggish and sleepy from a post-lunch nap.
On board, everyone brings snacks and drinks to share.
So we definitely won’t go hungry!
If possible, bring healthy options (as much as possible), but as always: whatever suits your taste!
UBICATION
If you can, arrive at 2:00 pm (30 minutes before setting sail) so we have time for introductions and to get into #ABordoFridays mode. We will meet at the red point on the map, right at the corner between Moll de Mestral and Moll de Gregal.
If you come by car, there are two parking areas: one right at the entrance of the ramp, on the left, and another on the other side of the port, in front of the Breakwater.
If you come by motorbike, it’s best to leave it outside Port Olímpic. There’s plenty of space outside.
It is always recommended to come by public transport or by bike if possible.
PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION TERMS
Payment by card by clicking the REGISTER button at the top right of the page.
Cancellation by the organization or due to adverse weather conditions: If the activity has to be suspended for organizational reasons or unfavorable weather conditions, the amount paid will be kept as credit for a new date within the same season. Trips are only cancelled in case of a yellow warning issued by AEMET.
Cancellation by the client: Refunds are not provided, as boat reservations and schedules are confirmed and committed from the moment of registration.
