It's time to leave the mainland for a Sailing Day in First Class 12 in Douarnenez!
Vincent will meet you in the morning at 9:00 am. after a warm welcome, a visit of the boat, a safety briefing on board you will cast off and hoist the sails. Head for the open sea in the Iroise Sea!

Once on board, the day's activities will be based on your past experiences and your desires. We are not looking for homogeneity of skills on the sailboat, I favor exchanges, sharing and questioning what you have learned. You will progress more quickly, without pressure, by living varied situations to make your mind think at sea. Knowing that the First Class 12 is easily maneuvered with a reduced crew, each crew member will be able to work at his or her own intensity.

Here are some of the topics that we could cover on board, they are not exhaustive because the possibilities are wide and the areas of knowledge in cruising are vast!
- Navigation: Cartography (paper, electronic), choice of routes, positioning, weather strategy (work of the router in race)
- Maneuvering and driving: Driving at all speeds (sail adjustments), gybing, tacking, spinnaker, crew and short-handed, solo (depending on the level),
- Life on board: Organization, rotation, watches (depending on level),
- Skipper (depending on level),
- Safety: responsible procedures and attitudes,
And many other topics according to your wishes: Marine environment, engine, seamanship, meteorology etc.

Concerning the navigation area, we will be in a technically interesting and enriching area, at the tip of Brittany in the bay of Douarnenez and then in the Iroise Sea. During the day, we will sail among wild sceneries, between islands, bays and high cliffs
For a day rich in learning as in landscapes!
