In a few words

Listen to the song of the wind calling you towards the great blue, cast off the moorings, take the helm, hoist the mainsail, tighten the jib, let the journey begin and fill you with joyful memories.

Embark on board BAMAKO, our Sun Fast 37, for a cruise filled with technical navigation to boost your skills.

During this training course, we will seek to exploit the full potential of the sailboat on more challenging courses to develop precision, responsiveness and coordination.

Intermediate levels (2/3) will strengthen their automatic responses, advanced levels (3/4) will work on optimizing settings, and the most experienced (4) will focus on navigation strategy and safety.

No more initiation, with this experience you take the path to autonomy in the magnificent setting that the Côte Vermeille offers us.

The highlights

  • Fun and engaging theoretical input to understand the practice
  • Intensive practice to develop the reflexes necessary for independence
  • A zen and focused journey towards future ocean cruises
