In a few words

For two days, you will sail under the guidance of a certified instructor, with a program focused on performance and precision maneuvers : fine-tuning the sails, boat balance, approaching the harbor, and managing wind and speed. This course is designed for sailors who already have some sailing experience and wish to improve their skills in handling a cruising sailboat.

Camille

I am Camille, a BE sailing instructor and recreational sailing coach with the French Sailing Federation.

Passionate about sailing since my earliest childhood, I taught dinghy sailing and then cruising sailing on monohulls and catamarans. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and putting trainees in real-world situations from the very beginning of the course so they gain confidence and play a genuine role on the boat.

Surrounded by a team of passionate instructors eager to share their experiences and skills.
