Signing up for a course
There is no automatic booking with us, and that is deliberate: we prefer to talk with you first, to be sure that the week you choose really matches your level and what you expect.
-
You write to us
Tell us which week interests you, your level and what you are looking for — discovering sailing, making progress, logging miles or preparing for a qualification.
-
We reply
Usually within 12 hours. If the week you asked for is not right for you — level, course already full, unsuitable programme — we tell you frankly and suggest something else.
-
You confirm
Once the week is settled, we send you the registration form to fill in, with the details of the deposit. You can also download it now.
Reduced rates and conditions
Reduced rates are available: for children, students and job seekers, on request, and for group bookings that take the whole boat. They do not apply to the specialist courses — harbour manoeuvres and offshore passages.
No medical certificate is required for adults, but it is up to each person to know whether they have a contraindication; this is confirmed when you register. Sailing is more technical than physical, but you need to be able to move across when the boat tacks, get around on deck and board from the tender. If in doubt, simply talk to the skipper before booking.
To take part in official regattas, you need a licence from the French Sailing Federation (Fédération Française de Voile, FFV) and, depending on the case, a medical certificate — or a health questionnaire when renewing your licence with an earlier medical certificate and you answered “no” to every question.
