Very good course, we participated a lot and learned a lot because we were 3 trainees. Great boat and beautiful sailing area between Vannes, Houat, Belle-île, Lorient and Groix... And to finish off, a sporting return to Vannes under sail.
Alain is very patient, an excellent technician, a nice guy, and he gets us into the swing of things. We learned according to our wishes. Personally, I learned a lot about sail trim, the helm, the chart...
Beautiful tour of the Gulf of Morbihan and Belle-Île.
Thanks to Alain for his calm and pedagogical approach, we had a lot of fun during these 6 days aboard his beautiful sailboat, despite the rainy weather.
A very pleasant cruise, we discovered a variety of places, from the Glénans islands to the old town of Concarneau, all with a great atmosphere on board.
Alain listens to everyone's wishes, knows the area very well and took us to some great places! We had a great time.
