Qué cubre este vídeo
Enrique Gallart, a pioneer of windsurfing in Spain during the late 1980s, recounts his transition from early windsurfing in Valencia to professional yacht chartering and sailing instruction. Gallart describes his 1995 expedition to Isla Tortuga, Venezuela, where he spent 15 days windsurfing in isolation without modern communication tools. He details the physical challenges of the trip, including skin abrasions from saltwater and encounters with local wildlife. Following this experience, Gallart shifted his focus to cruising sailboats, eventually obtaining his professional skipper certification and developing a hands-on teaching method for sailing students. The discussion also covers the 2007 and 2010 America’s Cup events in Valencia from a local skipper's perspective. Additionally, the program features underwater photographer Jean-Raphael Tocdoua, who discusses his career and techniques for capturing marine life, and Juan Melgar of Librería Robinson, who highlights a new book on the history of knots and marlinspike seamanship.
