Sailing training

Autonomy, mastery and decision-making in navigation

Sailing training courses in La Rochelle for sailors who wish to gain autonomy, master their boat and develop solid decision-making skills, in both coastal and offshore navigation.

Who are the sailing training courses for

Infornav sailing training courses are designed for sailors who want to go beyond occasional practice and build real autonomy under sail.

The philosophy of Infornav sailing training

Learning to sail is not about stringing together isolated manoeuvres. Mastery comes from a global understanding of the boat, its environment and the decisions to be made at the right time.

Infornav sailing training courses favour a progressive teaching approach, based on real practice, analysis of encountered situations and long-term skill development.

Main focuses of the sailing training

Infornav sailing training is built around a global approach, combining practice, reflection and decision-making, in order to develop real and lasting autonomy in navigation.

This training is designed for sailors who want to achieve genuine sailing autonomy, beyond regulatory frameworks, through a practical and demanding approach.

100% of our trainees have become autonomous sailors.

Sailing training and safety: an inseparable link

Gaining autonomy under sail also means knowing how to anticipate degraded situations and make the right decisions.

Infornav sailing training naturally builds upon the principles developed in nautical safety training courses.
