Mediterranean winds
In the Mediterranean we find different winds depending on the time of the year and the best way to recognise the direction is through the wind rose or compass rose.

Tips before buying a new boat
Before finalising your purchase, hire a company to carry out an inspection of the boat, including a sea trial, to ensure that everything is in perfect condition and that you will not have any problems when you go out to sea.
