In a few words


SAILING COURSE (Sun Fast 37** type) over 5 days with full board.


Planned stops in Honfleur, Deauville, Fécamp.


This participatory course on a cruising sailboat with three double cabins is aimed at people who are novices or have experience in sailing and who wish to learn or improve their skills in handling a 10-meter habitable sailboat and navigating with nautical charts.


During this onboard training we will have the opportunity to discover the different maneuvers (tacking, gybing, reefing, mooring…) and to learn the main marine knots, the use of the VHF radio, the GPS and how to plan our course.

The expert's opinion

Open to all levels. Participants first learn the maneuvers and handling of the sailboat, then everything related to navigation (reading charts, tides, currents, planning a course...) and, for those who have the level, the path towards autonomy.
