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.
Very formative and fun experience. We were skippered by David, who was very experienced and happy to teach us many aspects of sailing. Great choice if you want to sail the entire day and improve your skills.
Perfect agreement between the man, Antoine, and the Pogo, wind, waves, paradisiacal spots, "funny" teammates, precise educational objectives, the whole contributed to the success of 100% of this "open sail" course! I recommend...
