Sailing for all tastes
Summer's here, and there's usually no shortage of motivation to get out on the water, weather permitting. But not everyone has a boat, and some are intimidated by too many sheets or bothered by the noise of the engine. Solutions do exist, whatever your skills, as we show you again this week.
You may choose to pick up a pair of oars, not necessarily in a competitive club, but simply by being attracted by an original, emblematic boat like the dory, which has endured in Saint-Malo .
For those who have already caught the sailing bug, and want to pass on this fun and friendly disease, head for the sailing clubs. We remind you how to become a sailing instructor, the summer job that lets you spend your days on the water rather than washing dishes in a beach hut without seeing the sea!
And for adventurers, inspiration for the next expedition may lie in Sedna's video . If setting off this summer in an 18-foot sports catamaran to conquer Greenland requires a great deal of preparation before June, dreaming doesn't hurt, and we can still imagine a more affordable training raid this summer!
Finally, you can reflect on your motivations for casting off by immersing herself in Julie Ricossé's comic strip, A la vie, à la mer, and asking herself, as an adult, how to share her passion with her children without imposing on them.
Facilitating cruising and respecting the environment
You're not alone on the water. For better or for worse, the sea is shared, and as the summer season gets underway, it's always good to remember the rules. Faced with incivilities, the rules could change, as requested by coastal mayors .
However, the rules know how to be intelligent, and the latest news is good, facilitating cross-border cruises to and from Europe, particularly with the UK.
All you have to do is choose your boat and head for a pub in Plymouth, Cowes or elsewhere!
