The episode is part of a new sailing series that follows the planning and execution of a real passage: • Departure from Alimos Marina (Athens) • Passage planning toward the Cyclades • Harbor approach strategy and timing • Managing Meltemi wind effects and local gusts • Real skipper decision-making under pressure The Cyclades are not simple cruising waters. Strong Meltemi winds, acceleration zones and exposed harbors require proper preparation and operational judgment. This is exactly the type of seamanship developed in the Mediterranean Masterclass, where experienced sailors learn how to: • Plan passages in demanding wind systems • Evaluate harbor risks before arrival • Manage Cyclades wind acceleration zones • Make confident skipper-level decisions at sea The goal is not simply to sail — but to operate safely and confidently as skipper in complex environments.
