Give this experience a try!

This experience, in a nutshell

Our sailing courses will allow you to learn how to manoeuvre under spinnaker, hold the helm, trim the sails, view the water, analyse your speed according to gusts, currents, clouds or even work on specific points on request in order to make yourself autonomous.

 

Whatever your expectations, you will gain confidence to sail on any other habitable sailboat.

Sailing course in POGO 12.50 - Sailing on the Atlantic

Cette semaine de navigation s'est très bien passée : bateau agréable, groupe sympathique, skipper compétant et pédagogue. Cependant, je me permets de relever 3 points : - 1) En début de séjour, il n'y a pas eu de briefing sécurité, - 2) Il n'y a pas eu de présentation ni de préparation des étapes, que ce soit la veille au soir ou bien le matin avant le départ (étude de l'itinéraire en fonction du vent) - 3) La plupart des membres de l'équipage (3 sur 5) avaient un bon niveau de connaissance et même d'autonomie. Dans ce contexte, j'aurais aimé que notre skipper nous laisse un peu plus de possibilité de décision, donc de responsabilité, plutôt que de nous dicter ce qu'il fallait faire (alors que le plus souvent, nous nous apprêtions à réaliser ce qu'il nous demandait de faire). Ces 3 points évoqués ne remettent en aucun cas en question la compétence du skipper ni ses qualités relationnelles avec l'équipage.

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.
