Adults enjoy windsurfing on windier
days when the waves offer challenging conditions. Young
learners take first steps in handling a sail-board in
shallow water near the shore.

Learn to sail!
You are sailing a small catamaran through the gentle waves,
hanging out over the sea to balance the sail like a
professional... Your flotilla is closely watched by the
qualified instructor from a motor boat, so you know you're
safe. After just a few sessions of a week's introductory
course of 5 x half-days, you're enjoying a sail round the
bay....

the Bay of Saint-Jean, sheltered by Boulogne harbour to the
south, and Cap Gris-Nez to the north.

From the age of 11, children can learn on small catamarans,
while the youngest go out in small dinghies - like
'Optimists'. Small groups of learners out in the sheltered
bay are supervised by their instructor from a motor-boat.
Yellow buoys mark the area reserved for sail training to
avoid conflict from other water users.
