You step onto the varnished deck at Port Olímpic and the city slides aft—the W Hotel rising like a sail, Montjuïc and Tibidabo punctuating the skyline. The Mediterranean nudges the hull as the crew runs a brief safety check and explains the controls of a 41-foot Bavaria and a 36-foot Dufour in the Nomad fleet.
