Knowing your port of departure
Where does the yachtsman's vocation come from, his desire to take to the open seas and sail for pleasure? The answer is different for everyone. Family background and the examples set by those around us often play a part. But the maritime imagination is often no stranger to it. And like any dream, it is regularly nourished throughout a sailor's life. Knowledge of maritime history is a cornerstone of this development. From Géricault's Raft of the Medusa at fresnel headlight techniques through gilles Belmonte's novels our site never lacks an opportunity to feed it. You'll also find announcements of major gatherings whose ships are the stuff of dreams as you stroll along the pontoons, like the upcoming La Rochelle festival .
Sea and reflection
At sea, the sailor also seeks a framework for reflection. The marine environment and the connection to the living world are strong and can open the door to philosophical reflection. A path we invite you to follow in a new series of articles, including the first round of Plutôt couler en beauté que flotter sans grâce is now online .
Between history and philosophy, yachting is more than just new pulleys and big outboards!
