Sailing

  • Sailing, a sport for life

    Sailing can truly be practiced at any age and level, from Opti sailing among youth, to Olympic-class racing, where so-called “age d’or” athletes take part in world championships.

  • Sailing, a hobby that is exhilarating and accessible

    Exhilarating because it is exciting and invoques passion. Accessible because there is an aspect of sailing that appeals to all tastes, all means, all levels: windsurfing, single-handed dinghy sailing, double-handed dinghy sailing, keelboat sailing, adapted sailing, sailing for women, etc.

  • Sailing, an education to learn the ropes

    A training process that will carry you away in different ways: offering knowledge in a learning context, through the transmission of our coaches' passion and also for those in the high-performance context.

  • Sailing, a lifestyle to cruise away from it all

    Sailing is much more than a sport. For many, it is a life-long philosophy. Recreational sailing encompasses those who leave for many months and sometimes years, to those who choose it for its social community and environmental benefits.
