Your cruise
Lionel welcomes you aboard his sailboat for 5 days of advanced sailing training starting from Bandol
Level 2 of the FFV is required to access this course. The objective is to bring the trainees towards autonomy (level 3 and 4 of the FFV) so that they can navigate on a sailboat without an attendant.

Your possible stops during this cruise
You have an appointment with Lionel at the Port of Bandol at 9 am on Monday morning to start your sailing course. The itinerary adapts to winds and weather
From Bandol, you can discover the Calanques or head east towards the Golden Islands depending on the weather and technical objectives.
The advanced courses cover all areas of expertise. These courses, supervised by a qualified and competent, available and attentive instructor, thus promote a homogeneous and balanced progression with alternating sequences of maneuver training and periods of driving towards a goal
At the end of the five days, you'll know:
- mastering driving at all speeds and in overpowered conditions,
- rigging, steering according to the opening of the sails,
- maintain the balance of the sailboat by using the helm and the sails,
- tack and gybe while controlling the exit angle,
- identify your sailing pace,
- choose trajectories to windward and leeward,
- to imagine the trajectories and the paces to be taken to reach any point on the water body,
- adapt the sail area (trim the sail area, reef, change the headsail, spinnaker),
- know and occupy each position during manoeuvres in coordination with the rest of the crew,
- master start and finish manoeuvres (engine and sail) under normal conditions
You will also learn how to follow a course or an alignment, develop a route... relate the landscape you encounter to the map, follow the boat's progress and determine the position according to different techniques
Finally, you will discuss the various safety issues on board. You will also learn a little more about the marine environment
You will be back at the Port of Bandol on Friday around 6pm.

Everything was gathered to spend a good stay. A very good atmosphere in pleasant spots.
Lionel did everything to make sure we had a good time. He listened to us and proposed activities in adequacy with the team members. His festive character favoured the good spirit and the conviviality of the stay.
Pro. Pedagogy ++, jovial even in adversity. Animator, balancing act, drummer,...other qualities to discover. Strict and clear in his instructions, takes care of everyone on board, from beginners to advanced. He makes you and gives you confidence. I learned a lot during small theory sessions and put them into practice right after. The boat is nervous and lively at the helm, very well equipped for long sporty trips. I look forward to October.
Simple and effective.
