One Thursday each month, Port Olímpic is offering the chance to learn to sail with professional sailors, followed by a gathering at the Balcó Gastronòmic
The first outing of the season will take place on Thursday 19 March
Port Olímpic is bringing back Dijous de Vent, an initiative to encourage the public to get into sailing with the help of professional sailors and then enjoy a gathering at the Balcó Gastronòmic.
The first outing of the season will take place on Thursday 19 March, and monthly sessions have been organised up to October. This activity is open to both beginners and professional or amateur sailors.
Each Dijous de Vent session includes a sailing outing with sailors from the Port Olímpic’s nautical businesses and a visit to the Balcó Gastronòmic, the new food and drink area at the port that offers a wide range of high-quality options, with unbeatable views of the Mediterranean and the city. The participating businesses for the March session are the Escola Port, Barcelona Sailing Experience, Tur Tur Experience, Más Navega, Business Yacht Club, Escuela Náutica Neptuno and Anclademia, as well as the Superlocal restaurant, where the post-sailing gathering will take place.
These sailing outings are completely free of charge and are managed with a draw system through the Port Olímpic’s Instagram page (@portolimpicbarcelona).
Port Olímpic’s commitment to bringing sailing closer to the public
The Dijous de Vent initiative is part of the measures taken by the Port Olímpic (a space managed by BSM on behalf of Ajuntament de Barcelona) to promote nautical activities among the public. Others include La Polar, the community regatta that links Barcelona with La Ràpita, and other competitions, such as the Lliga Social and the Regata 5 Clubs.
