The skipper

Embark with François on a sailing course in a boat (no cabin)! Departure from Concarneau for a day of training in a 6.50

What is your motto ?

One must not lose one's life by seeking to win it ...

How did you come to do this job?

I became an instructor naturally, I came from the curriculum in light sailing. The transition to liveaboard sailing was no-brainer to finally be able to leave the bay and discover what is out there! I am also passionate about offshore racing.

What people say about you?

People say to me that I am passionate.

Life on a journey

Your best memory ?

My best memories are my arrival in Pointe à Pitre during the mini trans-Atlantic race in 2015 and the whales under my keel on my way back from the Azores! It was magical.

For you, what is a successful sea trip?

A sailing is successful if the trainee has strengthened and deepened their knowledge.

Your style of practice?

Taking part in the manoeuvres is imperative on board my boats! I do teaching and cannot ensure that I can accompany all the way. I offer active cruises with educational aims.
