The main problem with most sailing schools is their adherence to the Soviet system of teaching: students are "marinated" in the classroom, overloaded with theory. And by the time they go to sea, the knowledge they need is completely out of their heads.
We at Interparus have decided to go the way of maximum efficiency and benefit to the students. The best Western schools (e.g. DHH or Les Glenans) give their students only the necessary minimum of theory, devoting most of the time to practice. And it is reasonable, because new knowledge is much faster and more firmly fixed in memory when you apply it intensively in practice under the supervision of an experienced instructor, who is always ready to support and back up.
Also the experience that we have adopted from the old European schools is to start training on yachts no bigger than 40 feet. This allows the novice cadets not to be afraid of the yacht and to get a feel for its size."
