All visitors were invited to enjoy a class of conjuring and magic tricks for beginners.

Magic and humour go hand in hand with Marta Zapata, who uses comedy, clownery and street performance to overcome conflicts, create emotional engagement and bring people together through the power of laughter.

Knots, lines and ligatures have always been associated with sailing and the sea. Is there any better entertainment resource on a boat than a collection of ingenuity games «made in Zapata» (the magic museum-Alcañiz); a group that have travelled the world for two generations; collecting and exchanging knotting games and tricks to satisfy this very human need for self-improvement.

The Sailing Living Fest showcased this collection, offering these games to sailors and the port community.

Pay careful attention to Marta Zapata’s demonstrations and explanations in order to continue expanding and creating new tricks.

Music and life on board a boat by Alberto Martín. Music and art should be part of all people’s lives, Whilst we may not always be aware of it, music is in all sounds and rhythm is also even part of us; emanating from our heartbeat. Alberto offered creative rhythmic proposals for making music on board.

He showed us some simple rhythms to accompany musicians you may meet during your travels.

A virtual journey through the ports of the world and their different rhythms.

No previous knowledge is necessary since rhythm travels with us.

From a social perspective, music is a fundamental from of self expression and helps to break down barriers. All are invited at the end of the festival to take part in a group jam session.

Picarus Sailing Club took us out to sail to see cetaceans like: dolphins, pilot whales and whales And maybe also some turtle!

They are professionals with many years of experience working in the sighting of cetaceans. They also have a hydrophone with which we can listen to these wonderful mammals.

On their boat, the researchers: Tania Montoto and Carmen Meléndez, told us about their work in oceanographic science.

Sailing instructor Alejandro Cabrera organized dinghy sailing trips on boats belonging to Actividades Náuticas de Tenerife.

This activity is aimed at children from schools in Las Galletas area (Tenerife) and we hope was useful to encourage many children who watch the workshop online to awaken their curiosity about this beautiful sport.

Dinghy sailing is the basis of any good sailor and a simple and economical way to start sailing.

With Buceo Canarias we learned the procedure to follow to carry out a Dive Try. This is how is called the first diving experience that allows us to enter this beautiful activity.

A diving instructor explained, step by step, to a person who has never dived how  to prepare himself and use the equipment. Then they dove in the waters of the Port Marina del Sur Tenerife.

From the Acrobat sailing vessel we watched them underwater thanks to ROV SIBIU Nano by Nido Robotics.

And all this can be seen in real time online!

Dealing with problems when they happen. Fast Mind. Act fast to solve imminent mechanical issues.

With the use of four key tools, Carlos Samper, a young farmer who sails the Sea of Aragon, offered practical demonstrations that can get us out of trouble when emergency repairs are called for.

This workshop was taught by Mara Arnalda, instructor from the Escuela de Vela Los Cristianos. In it we learned to tie the 4 most used nautical knots: the figure of eight, the reef knot, the bowline and the clove hitch.

If you want to start in the world of sailing and all things nautical you have to know the basic knots and practice them until you can tie them without thinking, as they are very important for safety reasons when sailing and are one of the most repeated tasks carried out on board.
