The subject of Water Sports II has a marked intensive theoretical-practical character, distributing its load to 50% between theoretical and practical contents so that the student is able to be supported in a solid theoretical base thus to be able to apply and to transfer this acquired knowledge to the practical context of a much more efficient and effective way.
This theoretical-practical knowledge aims to deepen sailing, both with fixed and free equipment, as it is a subject that continues with the knowledge acquired in Water Sports I and, therefore, the level they will have to acquire students will be much higher working both technique and tactics of sailing following the standards of the Catalan Sailing Federation. In addition, the necessary skills in the methodology of teaching water sports as well as aspects of safety at sea will also be worked on, fundamental elements that always accompany sailing in any nautical installation.
The practical part of the subject will be taught in the facilities of the Nautical Clubs, as indicated in the schedule of the subject.
For the good development of the practices, each student will have to bring his own material, neoprene and covered shoes that can get wet, and in case of not having the basic material, the student will have at his disposal in the school of sails this material to be able to rent it for the whole subject.
This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.
In addition, the social and environmental relevance of the gender perspective will be emphasized, through the course syllabus, as well as through information search activities and critical debates.
