Nous avons passé un séjour formidable ! Notre skipper Nicolas a été à l'écoute de nos attentes, il a su adapter l'itinéraire en fonction de nos envies et nous a énormément appris sur le fonctionnement du voilier. Bienveillant, pédagogue, drôle... nous repartirons avec lui les yeux fermés !

Nous avons passé cinq jours de stage sur le voilier [hidden] et sommes ravis de notre expérience. Nous avons pu progresser à onotre rythme, grâce a la pédagogie bienveillante et la patience de Valentin qui a été un excellent skipper, souriant et très agréable. Le soleil étant de la partie, nous avons profité de paysages et de mouillages magnifiques. Les journées ont été denses et très formatrices, mais elles sont passées finalement très (trop) vite aux côtés de supers équipiers, dont nous avons eu la joie de faire connaissance. Bref, nous réfléchissons déjà à notre prochaine date de départ sur ce voilier très sécurisant et parfait pour apprendre.
