What separates dreams from reality is action!
I've always sailed. Since childhood. Today my work is in harmony with my passion :)
hey say of me that I am a didactic person, easy and very open. The different languages I speak allow me to convey my passion for sailing, for the sea and for my boat.
A trained journalist, father of 3 small sailors, a teacher who kept at me for 8 years until my French was perfect
Life on a journey
The Ladies regattas in St. Tropez in 2015. The girls were completely novices in regattas and did not know each other, in addition to coming from different countries/horizons. In spite of these conditions which could have represented a handicap in a competition, they formed an enthusiastic group, that was very solid and communicative, which still stands strong today ... and above all, they won!
A successful regatta is when crew members form a united team where everyone has contributed in the pleasure of sailing together. If we finish the race on the podium ... then that's the icing on the cake!
Safety and tranquillity. The important thing is for everyone to enjoy themselves and share this experience with the other passengers. The boat is very powerful (22 tons of displacement) For the regattas we do a long safety briefing then 1 to 2 days of training before the races. During the regatta, I will explain to you, depending on your level, how to sail and carry out manoeuvres and the 3 other crew members on board are there to guide you! For cruises, relaxing and learning are the key words :)
