Embark with Pierre - Destination Brittany for a sailboat cruise

The world belongs to the curious

I was lucky enough to have seafaring parents, who made me discover their passion. When I was young, the boat was my second home, the sea my garden. With the family sailboat, we sailed the Breton coasts, until the day I was old enough to sail alone as an optimist. I remember very well the satisfaction of sailing a small boat alone. It was a revelation! Sailing now rhymes with speed and performance. As a teenager and young adult, my life as a sailor has been intense. I took part in many regattas. I sailed the waters in France and abroad at the rhythm of championships. I also discovered ocean sailing by making beautiful trips to Scotland, Ireland, the North Sea but also, during a Transat to the Canaries, Cape Verde and the West Indies. This passion for boats and the sea has never left me! I first worked in the world of ocean racing. Preparation of sailing boats, monohulls and multihulls, for the Vendée Globe and the Jules Verne Trophy. These tall ships have fed my curiosity and satisfied my desire for technicality. Afterwards, I moved away from the sea for a few years to go to the mountains and work on the construction of Solar Impulse, the solar airplane, built on the initiative of Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg. However, the desire to sail quickly resurfaced. Back in Brittany, I trained with the AFPA [Agence nationale pour la formation professionnelle des adultes], Marine Maintenance Agents for Pleasure Craft. Then, the time has finally come to make my dream come true. To make my passion my profession and to share it with as many people as possible. In 2018, on my return from a trip to Les Scilly, I fell under the spell of a fast and efficient cruising yacht. Two months later I became the new owner. The same year, I pass two diplomas at the ENVSN of Quiberon, to become a skipper of a cruising school, coastal and offshore.

"Pierre became my friend. He is a professional. I enjoyed sailing with him. I learned. By the way, I'm only waiting for one thing, to go back this year! ».

I love nature and getting up early to enjoy the first light of day. I am a sportsman. Always on the move but who knows how to adapt to everyone's rhythm. I like walking on the water's edge as much as in the mountains.

Life on a journey

Sal, Cape Verde, late afternoon. The dolphins are a hundred. They hunt in groups without worrying about us. Arrived at the anchorage, we share with the locals and other sailors a swordfish caught the day before. What a beautiful arrival and what beautiful encounters!

It's when we've been able to make the most of the weather, when the boat has worked well, that the crew has a smile on their face and the desire to set off again.

Relaxed but applied
