Your cruise
Uncompromising sailing on a racing catamaran. Exploration, manoeuvring with a crew, cartography, weather and strategy in a friendly and interactive atmosphere.
This is the ideal formula to be in symbiosis with the elements.
Your possible stops during this cruise
Boarding at 10am on the first day of the course at Port Manec'h, located on the estuary of the Aven and Belon rivers, right bank.
Quick handling of the catamaran, exchange of experiences and expectations. Weather report and objectives. You get to know the boat, the rest of the crew (6 people max) and the water during 2 to 3 hours of sailing. During the course you will sail to the Breton islands and ports (Glenan archipelago, Groix, Belle Ile, Houat, Hoedic): technical progress, escape and strong sensations punctuated by unusual stopovers and bivouacs... about 6 hours of sailing per day
We bivouac at our convenience on the beach or on the trampoline of the boat in tents provided. There are also 2 solo berths in the hulls. You will need your own sleeping bag. Food on board is included, we have enough to cook hot and good!
Depending on the motivation, the level of the team and the weather opportunities, we can sail in the evening and/or at night.
After the last day of sailing, we take an hour to tidy up the boat and take stock.
The course ends between 4 and 5 pm in Port Manec'h. All safety equipment is provided, as well as jackets and overalls if needed.
The course is open to beginners in sailing, and is suitable for non-sportsmen in good physical condition.
Children from 12 years old accompanied by an adult trainee on board are accepted.
The 80 m2 trampoline surface of the boat favours exchange, understanding of manoeuvres and vision of the water. The cartography is done outside for a better association map - landscape. There is also a GPS for fast sailing in rocky areas... but we prefer the map to acquire all the geographical logic. The spinnaker (on furler) is not reserved for the elites, we use it as soon as possible!
Plan to be available the 2 days following the course to postpone the return in case of strong weather (which is rare).

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.
