In a few words

Take the helm for a technical immersion dedicated exclusively to mastering your sailboat in confined waters. Unlike traditional offshore sailing, this intensive course focuses on harbor maneuvers departing from Arzal . The objective is clear: to transform every docking or undocking into a smooth and controlled movement.

On a monohull with a single rudder and a wheel steering system , and without the assistance of a bow thruster, you will learn to master the inertia of your vessel. You will develop a deep understanding of fluid mechanics and the influence of wind on the hull to anticipate every movement.

This training will empower you to make fully independent decisions. By analyzing environmental indicators, you will choose the most suitable strategy to ensure the safety of your port calls. Become an expert in precision and gain peace of mind for your future cruises by mastering the intricacies of precision piloting.

The highlights

  • Progress and become independent with port maneuvers
  • A good sailing and comfortable boat (Feeling 416)
  • Understanding the mechanisms of the maneuver

Sailing is something you fall into and you're hooked. For me, it was at the age of 7 when I went sailing for a few hours in Quimper. A crew member showed me how to coil the lines, and I've never forgotten it. That's how I explain my passion for the sea and sailing. I got back into sailing seriously in 2013 and launched my own business as a skipper, chartering sailboats in 2015. Since then, I've never been far from the docks, and I earned my BPJEPS Sailing Instructor certification in 2024 so I could run courses independently.

    • Activity Sailing
    • Duration of the activity 6h
    • Accommodation Sailing cruise ship
    • Breakfast not included
    • Lunch not included
    • Dinner not included

    Your adventure begins in port where you join the crew directly aboard the sailboat. This first day is dedicated to discovering your marine environment and building group cohesion. After introductions, you finalize provisioning if necessary to ensure you are fully self-sufficient for the rest of your voyage.

    Safety being a priority, you'll receive a comprehensive briefing on onboard rules and safety equipment before casting off. Once at sea, you'll quickly get to grips with the boat to experience its initial reactions to the wind. The session will begin with a theoretical section on harbor maneuvers, immediately followed by practical application. You'll learn to coordinate your movements to stabilize the vessel and control your course in tight spaces, thus laying the technical foundation for your sailing holiday.
