A huge thank you to Sébastien for this very comprehensive experience. This week of sailing gave us the opportunity to explore many different aspects of sailing, and Sébastien made sure everyone got a taste of everything. We were lucky to have varied weather conditions, which allowed us to sail the spinnaker and reef the mainsail. A major plus was the attention paid to the quality of the meals (local, organic, and delicious recipes), all served in a friendly and informative atmosphere. Thanks again!
