Introductory and advanced course in coastal cruising.
This is an itinerant stay between La Rochelle and L'île d'Yeu (depending on the weather, of course).
We stop each day in a different port and live on board the sailboat.
During this cruise you can learn everything about navigation: steer the ship, adjust the sails, participate in all maneuvers, discover cartography, tide calculations, safety etc...
You will sail aboard a First 35s5, a fast, robust and comfortable vessel; and you will especially appreciate the personality of your skipper, Fabienne , who always listens to your desires and your limits, makes it a point of honor to make you benefit from her welcome, her pedagogy, her calm and her patience.

This boat will be particularly suitable for those who wish to have more comfort and more space. Although we are registered for 7 passengers, you will board only 5 trainees maximum (in stages), 6 out of day or half day on: A First 35S5, construction Bénéteau.
The reputation of this boat is well established. Longer, wider, therefore more spacious, it has a very bright interior and is equipped with additional comfort elements (heating, oven, refrigerator), larger independent cabins, a large cockpit, equipment and more sophisticated electronic equipment.
It is a sailboat with light displacement, fast, manageable, powerful and robust.
