I have been sailing monohull sailboats since 1993. My experience is varied in terms of programs (cruises and regattas), boat size (22 to 40 feet), roles (skipper, co-skipper, crew member) and sailing areas.
Mainly:
- I began my nautical experience with several courses at a UCPA sailing school (vacation center in France) in the Mediterranean (1993-1995-1996), on the Côte d'Azur and back from Corsica.
- Later, I sailed extensively with my father on his boat through the Somme Bay and along the north coast of the English Channel and the North Sea (1994-2004).
- I also have considerable experience as a crew member in regattas in different regions where I have lived: San Francisco Bay (2000), the North Sea and English Channel (2002-2004), and the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec City (2013-2016).
- In February 2022, I formalized my experience obtaining the PER, so that I could rent and occasionally take my family sailing in summer.
