This 4-day sailing and cruising course in Southern Brittany is designed for all sailors wishing to learn the basics of sailing or to progress by structuring their technique for using a sailboat. With daytime sailing, there's no night sailing, but stopovers ashore!

Sailing a cruise in Southern Brittany means discovering the Breton islands by sea: Groix, Belle-Ile, Houat, Hoëdic, the Gulf of Morbihan... These stopovers are an opportunity to learn the subtleties of anchoring, tidal range calculations, currents... not forgetting walks ashore.

You board as a 100% participative crew member for an inshore sailing course aboard one of our crewed Challenge 67s, large 21m monohulls. Two professional sailors will supervise the crew members.

On your return to Lorient, the qualified sailors can issue you with a yachting booklet if you wish. You can then record the experience gained during the liveaboard sailing course in a French sailing school on your yachting booklet.

Boat details

It is a large 21m monohull with professional crew. This Challenge 67 was designed and built for the BT Global Challenge, the crewed round the world race against the prevailing winds.
This one-design racing cruiser was built in 14 examples in the years 91/92. The majority of them are still sailing today all over the world.
The open sea is the DNA of this large monohull. Extremely seaworthy, this 67-foot monohull is designed for the open sea. Its large size is an asset for traveling, coastal sailing, training and anticipating all situations at sea. Skippered by two professional sailors, it accommodates 10 crew members/customers spread across four cabins (double and triple), with single bunk berths.
Behind the large saloon and the galley, two crew cabins complete the interior layout of the boat.
The Challenge 67 are rigged as a cutter. Their wardrobe is all the more interesting and varied! At the front, you will carry the canvas of the time: staysail, Yankee 1, Yankee 2 or Yankee 3. The largest headsails are the large genoa, the asymmetrical spinnaker and the symmetrical spinnaker. The mainsail is fully battened.
