About me

My goal as a skipper is to look for the right balance on board, taking into account the level of each person at the beginning of the course, and from there to look for the pleasure of sailing in complete safety. Learning in a serene atmosphere, encouraging those who might take a back seat for fear of making a mistake, my role is to put you in a situation where you can make mistakes without danger. I sail stress-free, taking the time to explain the manoeuvres, the settings, the navigation rules, the map navigation, etc. I make sure that there is a good balance of participation between all those who want to participate; I break down the manoeuvres in advance, I help to position yourself on board and make the right movements so as not to get injured. My motto: Everyone has their own learning pace. It's better to ask a question and take the risk of sounding stupid for 5 minutes than not to ask it and remain ignorant all your life.

My experience

Until the age of 20, I had only scratched the surface of sailing. A first revealing cruise on a barge led me to a leisure training in an association in La Rochelle. The call of the sea led me, in the years following the end of my studies as an occupational therapist, to retrain by passing the State Certificate and then the Captain 200 Sailing. Since 1995, I have participated in several transatlantic voyages, but my main activity is training cruises. My greatest satisfactions come from the incomparable pleasures that the ocean can provide to crew members (whether they are beginners or already enthusiasts), from managing a well-tuned sailboat and learning how to progress, the chemistry of a crew, the discovery of the coasts...

C'est une semaine merveilleuse que Fabienne nous a permis de vivre sur son voilier. Une très belle croisière, encadrée par une vraie professionnelle sympathique, à l'écoute, pédagogue. Allez-y les yeux fermés, sans hésiter. Mon fils et moi n'avons qu'une envie : y retourner !

Ce premier stage avec Fabienne ne devrait pas être le dernier. J'en reviens enthousiaste. Apprendre à naviguer avec elle est une énorme chance. Fabienne allie de grandes compétences techniques, une longue expérience, l'écoute et l'humilité, le partage sans restriction de ses connaissances étendues, une pédagogie positive, et des qualités humaines exceptionnelles. Quelques soient les niveaux de départ et les objectifs des stagiaires, ou même les réticences de certains, Fabienne a su nous impliquer dans toutes les manœuvres et pour toutes les tâches à bord de son bateau. Tout le monde a pu profiter et progresser à sa vitesse. Je recommande Fabienne sans aucune hésitation !

Fabienne ist ein wunderbare Skipperin und Lehrerin. Sie hat uns perfekt angeleitet, geschult und auch das Erlernte überprüft. Das ganze ohne Stress oder lehrerhaftes Verhalten. Wir dürften zu Übungszwecken Schmetterling fahren und auch den Spinnacker hochziehen. Außerdem würden Navigationsübungen gemacht. Insofern hat Fabienne mit uns ein dreitägige Skippertraining durchgeführt. Die Stimmung an Bord war super. Wir haben uns auf englisch, französisch und deutsch verständigt. Wir haben gut und überreichlich gekocht und gegessen.. Insofern war das Alles eine super Erfahrung, ein tolles Erlebnis und zudem noch sehr lehrreich. Wir würden jederzeit wieder mit Fabienne und Agate Segel gehen Bernhard und Nele aus Gießen /Deutschland
