This experience, in a nutshell

Our sailing courses will allow you to learn how to manoeuvre under spinnaker, hold the helm, trim the sails, view the water, analyse your speed according to gusts, currents, clouds or even work on specific points on request in order to make yourself autonomous.

 

Whatever your expectations, you will gain confidence to sail on any other habitable sailboat.

Sailing course in POGO 12.50 - Sailing on the Atlantic

06/14/2023

This week of sailing went very well: pleasant boat, friendly group, competent skipper and teacher. However, I would like to note 3 points: - 1) At the beginning of the stay, there was no safety briefing, - 2) There was no presentation or preparation of the stages, either the night before or the morning before the start (study of the route according to the wind) - 3) Most of the crew members (3 out of 5) had a good level of knowledge and even autonomy. In this context, I would have liked our skipper to give us a little more possibility of decision, therefore responsibility, rather than dictating to us what to do (when more often than not, we were about to achieve what he asked us to do). These 3 points mentioned do not in any way call into question the competence of the skipper or his relational qualities with the crew.

Fantastic experience in Biscay, Atlantic French coast, the boat Pogo 1250 is very performant, we had wind from moderate to fresh with waves and smooth sea, the skipper Nicolas is very skilled and very kind in teaching. I suggest to everyone this stage, Antoine and his company are very good!

Our skipper was David. David is an experienced skipper and was simply perfect. Thanks David! As to the overall experience, the Pogo is a competition boat: very fast and fun. We did not have much wind and it was still possible to sail quite often thanks to its performances. Perhaps it is not the most comfy 40feet in the market, but no racing object is focussed on that. We visited great places: many parts of the French Riviera and several islands, really beautiful.
