Master the Adventure: a week to hone your skills

Over the course of six days, participants were able to strengthen their technical skills through hands-on workshops led by expert instructors from Escale Formation Technique, the training school of the Grand Large Yachting group. The sessions covered the core fundamentals of the “ bluewater cruising,” including marine diesel engine mechanics, onboard electrical systems, safety at sea, and survival procedures, as well as an in-depth introduction to offshore weather, presented by Christian Dumard. A specific session was also dedicated to the management and maintenance of the “ watermaker.”

Each session combined theory and hands-on experience with different equipment: engines, watermaker, beacons, life rafts... Everyone was able to change an oil filter, learn how to make their own energy balance, or rinse a watermaker circuit. Sea outings on Grand Large Yachting yachts rounded off the week, with a stopover on the island of Groix.

100% women's navigation

Another highlight of the week: a sailing session just for women! The division of roles on board is key to the success of a bluewater cruising project. Sailing without a partner is also part of helping women gain confidence on board.
