Owners' Week 2025 - A week of blue water cruising training for Allures owners

A week of training for autonomous blue water cruising

‍

For six days, participants were able to enhance their technical skills through hands-on workshops led by expert trainers from the Grand Large Yachting group's training school, Escale Formation Technique. The sessions covered the major fundamentals of blue water cruising, including marine diesel engine mechanics, onboard electricity, safety at sea and survival procedures, as well as an in-depth introduction to offshore weather, provided by Christian Dumard. A specific session was also devoted to watermaker management and maintenance.

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 reserved for women! The distribution of roles on board is an essential element in the success of a blue water cruising project. Sailing without one's spouse is also part of the confidence-building process for women on board.
