Excellent way to become autonomous on board a sailboat and to have a solid knowledge of the various current boats as well as their specific equipment, our practical training courses (navigations with topics such as harbor maneuvers, security, spinnaker, night, big weather, solo or reduced crew, regatta, …) and theoretical (atelotage, navigation, weather, routing, sextant, preparation for a round-trip transatlantic, offshore license) are there for you.

In addition to group courses, we regularly offer coaching sessions (2 people max, from 2 hours to 2 weeks), on board our sailboats but also those of the owners.

These courses are offered to you throughout the year from our bases in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and West Indies.

You can also suggest us the dates and destinations of your choice !

It is also possible to privatize any type of boat with skipper.

Coastal navigation with night at sea or port stop during which you will fully enjoy the different aspects of a life on board while training in the techniques necessary for autonomy on a sailboat. The on-board monitor adapts his instructions according to the level and objectives of each team member (port manoeuvers, local and general weather, chart chart with and without GPS, settings, mooring, beaconing, reefing, spinnaker manoeuvers, etc.) .

You will approach safety (technical management of the sailboat, specific manoeuvers), navigation (point on nautical chart, weather forecast, taking into account the tide, logbook monitoring, use of on-board electronics, …), techniques (spinnaker, gennaker, staysail, reduction, sailing manoeuvers, porting to the engine, trunk outlet,…), night navigation, etc.

The purpose is generally for trainees to rent, buy a boat, integrate a crew for a cruise or simply the pleasure of knowing how to sail aboard a sailboat in complete safety.
