Your cruise
Sail the sensations on a racing catamaran in a friendly, interactive atmosphere.
A complete and progressive approach: technique, instruments, charts, weather, tides, unusual ports of call...
It's the ideal way to discover the region from both land and sea.
Your possible stops during this cruise
Meet in Port Manec'h the day before the course for a briefing on the map, weather and course objectives.
Boarding at 9am on the first day of the course in Port Manec'h.
Getting to grips with the catamaran. You get to know the boat and the water during 2 to 3 hours of sailing.
As the course progresses, you'll sail to the islands and ports of Brittany (Glenan archipelago, Groix...): technical progress, escape and thrills punctuated by unusual stopovers... around 5 hours of sailing per day.
And depending on motivation, team level and weather conditions, we can extend the adventure with evening or even night sailing
We bivouac at our convenience on the beach or on the boat's trampoline in tents provided. There are also 2 solo berths in the hulls. You'll need your own sleeping bag. On-board provisioning is included, and we've got plenty of hot, tasty food!
All safety equipment is provided, as are jackets and overalls if required.
The course is open to sailing beginners, and is suitable for non-sporty people in normal physical condition. Children aged 12 and over accompanied by an adult trainee on board are accepted.

Catamaran Course 11.90 - 11.90 meters
Coastal racing catamaran, Formula 40 winner of the SNSM trophy in 2005 and 2014.
Fast and light, it reacts immediately to crew actions and environmental stresses.
Its ease of handling makes it sensitive and efficient, which makes it a very complete and accessible tool for beginners. 80 m2 of trampoline surface favours exchange, understanding of the manoeuvres and vision of the water.
Mapping is done outdoors for a better map-landscape association. There is also a GPS for fast navigation in rocky areas... but we prefer the map to acquire all the geographical logic. The spinnaker is not reserved for the elite, we use it as soon as possible! In training courses we limit ourselves to 6 or 7 people on board depending on the formula. If you want to privatize the boat for a group, you can be more numerous, depending on your objectives. All safety equipment is provided, as well as jackets and overalls if necessary. In this case think of specifying it with your sizes before the training course for the organization. All the material on board is included in the service.

Gwenael is a remarkable person and instructor. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sailor, there's something for everyone. The safety instructions, advice and sailing lessons are tailor-made for you.
First experience of this type for us, and great success! 3 days of immersion at sea, very exotic. Gwen organized and anticipated everything perfectly. In short, a very unusual and perfect Easter weekend!
Gwen was great, from the planning of the course, to the end of it. He took information on our level, our objectives, and managed to organize this course on a period normally not foreseen in his planning, with a team at the top (what was worth us to inaugurate the season well accompanied ;) He briefed us well on the material and the clothes to bring. He is very educational, we learned a lot, as well on the boat as on the navigation, but also on the history and the geology of the discovered places. We tried well to understand the bases of the navigation and the reading of the maps but to master that it will be necessary that we come back!
