Sailing for pleasure or in competition, being a skilled sailor or tempted to give it a first try, ...Brittany is undoubtedly the ideal region for sailing all throughout the year. Regular winds, jagged coastlines with various landscapes: Brittany is a sailor's paradise.
As soon as they learn how to swim, children can enjoy sailing thanks to the 120 sailing-schools and 230 sea-centers. They start with a small, easy to handle dinghy, that offers great sailing sensations as it teaches the basics. But introductory courses are not a children's privilege: you can start at any time of your life, and the only danger is to never want to stop!
Taste the rare feelings of liberty and control, as you are forming one body with your boat, avare of the wind in the sails, hauling on, tacking and slackening... Obviously, there are certain rules to be observed. Obviously, you won't be an expert overnight. Sometimes, you need to react very quickly on a boat! So, if you'd rather leave this type of adventure to others, you can always choose the company of a skilled sailor to enjoy the refreshening sea spray on a stroll along the seaside.
For experienced sailors, breton harbours offer an abundant infrastructure for family tours around Brittany with stops on the islands. What a lovely feeling to fall asleep at night, rocked by the undertow and listening to the wind whistling in the shrouds.
