Participating to a course

Link to the registration form, conditions of participation

Is there any physical form required to take part in the activities of Bretagne Atlantic Yachting?

Sailing is more technical than physical but to be a competent crew, we often have to change sides in the boat or to stand up on the deck, to go up in the boat and down of the boat in the dinghy.

Reglementation doesn't require for adults any swimm certification or medical certificate but it is the responsibility of each participant to know if he has a medical contra-indication. This confirmation is required in the booking form. By medical treatment, the crew will take on board his treatment.

For official regattas, each crew has to have a licence from the French Sailing Federation (The licence can be bought by the Club Léo Lagrange in Camaret - look in the page "links"). This licence has to be signed by a doctor, as medical certification.
