I like to teach. I was a sailing instructor at the Center Nautique des Glénans and then gave sailing lessons aboard my two sailboats. I was also a scuba diving instructor. For me, the sharing of knowledge , the transmission of knowledge , is an essential element of the meeting.
Aware of the constraints and limits of the courses given in traditional sailing schools, and with the experience that I have acquired in more than forty years of sailing , especially during my long-distance sailing in the ocean. Indian, in the Mediterranean, in the Atlantic Ocean and in the Caribbean Sea (more than fifty thousand miles sailed ), I give, on board my sailboat, tailor-made sailing lessons, in real navigation situations .
The safety of navigation is at the heart of all my teachings.
I only board a maximum of four students at a time, in order to maximize learning time and practice. The courses will be adapted to the knowledge and the speed of progression of each one. We will sail 4 to 6 hours a day. You will have a little time to enjoy the magnificent anchorages that we will visit and to go for a walk on land.
We will sail, from Saint Mandrier, around the magnificent islands of Porquerolles and Port Cros . To accommodate you, we have two large double cabins and a single cabin. We will share common areas. The teak deck, very comfortable, will allow you to indulge in contemplative idleness, reading and tanning.
The sailing lessons given on board my sailboat are aimed at several types of people:
- Beginners who do not have the desire (or who believe they have passed the age) to pile up with five in a six-meter sailboat and who want to progress quickly by receiving lessons in small groups on a tall ship.
- Apprentice sailors who already have a basic navigation but who want to improve their knowledge and practice with intensive courses in real navigation situations.
- Owners of sailboats who do not have the necessary insurance to fully use their boats.
- Travelers wishing to buy a boat to explore the planet sea but who wish to deepen their knowledge and experience life on board a long-distance sailboat before setting off.
In navigation , we will practice every day:
- Bar
- Setting, lowering and reducing sails
- Trim the sails
- Follow a route (depending on heading, wind or waves)
- Tack
- Gybe
- Put on the cape
- Wet
- Leaving an anchorage
- Use autopilot
At the chart table , we will practice every day:
- Card reading
- Carry and raise a point
- Use of GPS and electronic charts
- Analysis of weather files
- Choice of anchorage depending on the weather
See you soon aboard our magnificent sailboat.

We invite you to board our magnificent 15-meter wooden ketch, very comfortable both at sea and at anchor, equipped to ensure that navigation is done in total safety.
It has been completely refurbished and modernized in recent years in order to benefit from all modern comforts. Solar panels and a wind turbine provide
completely ecological electric autonomy.
Spacious and very well equipped, it has, to accommodate you, two large double cabins and a single cabin, a large saloon, a real kitchen, a bathroom and plenty of storage space. Outside, its spacious cockpit will accommodate our aperitifs and our meals. Its superb teak deck allows the practice of many activities (dance, Yoga, Qi Gong, reading, tanning, ...).
To get to land and to walk along the coast, a very large tender, a two-seater kayak and a paddle will be at your disposal.
