Program of your Cruise to Molene and Ouessant from Douarnenez

Departing from Douarnenez, a charming little town with 3 ports, we'll be in the heart of Finistère and the Iroise Marine Park. The sailing area, at the extreme west of Brittany, marks the junction between the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean.
It is thus traversed by powerful tidal currents, open to the open sea, and dotted with islands, islets and rocks, marked by numerous lighthouses and landmarks. A wild and grandiose area, ideal for learning navigation, with wind all year round!
For exploring and anchoring: Raz de sein and Chenal du Four, the Sein and Molène archipelagos, Ouessant Island, the cliffs of the Crozon peninsula, Douarnenez Bay and the turquoise waters of Morgat, the immense Rade de Brest, the port of Camaret...
And a little further afield, the Glénans archipelago to the south; L'ile Vierge, the Abers region to the north... And the United Kingdom!
Sailing in this area offers a wide range of learning opportunities: sail trimming, of course, but also tide and current calculations, day and night coastal positioning, on paper or electronic charts, routing... Not forgetting safety on board.
Whatever your desire for learning, pace or discovery, you'll find something here to please you.
