Governance composed exclusively of sailors
The renewal of Brest Bretagne Nautisme's board of directors highlights the strong commitment of sailors to the club's direction. All the members elected on April 2, 2025 come from the world of sailing or paddling. This composition lends technical and operational legitimacy to the management team, led by Loïc Pajot, who has been re-elected President. The choice of experienced profiles guarantees governance in direct contact with the realities of the water.
Structuring water sports around inclusion
The project Looking to the future is the cornerstone of the club's policy of making the sea accessible to all. The aim is to build more bridges between recreational and competitive sailing, by integrating young people in social integration, disabled people and schoolchildren. This inclusive approach requires adapted resources, both logistically and pedagogically: accessible boats, trained instructors, personalized coaching.
Training future champions: a local challenge with a national impact
With 200 competitors, Brest Bretagne Nautisme has established itself as a major training base for light sailing and paddle sports. The club's development towards the top level is based on a dual approach: technical on the one hand, and institutional on the other. The support of the local authorities and the recognition of the federal authorities enable the club to offer structured and progressive coaching. At the heart of the approach is the link between the sporting pathway and personal ambitions.
Developing the Brest harbour as a maritime playground
The one hundred and eighty square kilometers of the Brest roadstead are an exceptional area for water sports. The club is committed to local development, organizing events of all sizes, from local to international. In this way, the harbor becomes a place for discovering, confronting and promoting maritime heritage. This requires constant consultation with other users and authorities.
Classes de mer and educational projects: linking land and sea!
The development of sea classes is part of a drive to make the coastline of Brest an educational area. In addition to supervised activities, the club aims to offer educational content on the marine environment, boating safety and maritime culture. This approach strengthens the club's local roots, while preparing the younger generation for responsible sailing.
The projects led by Brest Bretagne Nautisme outline the contours of a modern, open and structuring nautical industry for the region. Boaters and professionals alike will find in this dynamic a number of avenues for commitment and cooperation. However, the question of the sustainability of resources, equipment renewal and inter-association coordination remains for the years to come.
