A professional sailing instructor is always present during practice and corrects mistakes directly while sailing. Normally, lessons last 2-3 hours a day (for 5-day courses) or approx. 6 hours (for full-day courses). Almost every sailing school on Mallorca is German or English-speaking; the German-speaking sailing schools are also often members of the recognised German sailing associations and run the courses according to their guidelines.
