The skipper

Sail with Alain, your professional skipper, from Port Camargue!

What is your motto ?

"Laughing water is the unfaithful dance of the waves" Paul Valéry

How did you come to do this job?

My grandfather built me my first boat when I was 8 years old. Since then, I have had about fifteen boats, first of which I have participated in in shore regattas. In 1983 I had the first carbon multihull built by the American architect GinoMorelli, whom I had met in New Orleans on arrival on the La Rochelle-New Orlean deckchair (won by the catamaran Charante Maritime). For about ten years I have participated on board the catamaran "Région de Picardie" in about ten transatlantic races

What people say about you?

My teammates talk to me about the transmission of a passion, and appreciate the many anecdotes gleaned from many offshore races.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

When I visited all the Greek islands and discovered the sanctuary of Delos, at the time protected.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

Sharing a passion and discovering unexpected stops and places that the wave always discovers with a different eye when you arrive from the sea.

Your style of practice?

Sharing of experiences
