It is the leading sailing school in Europe. From beginners to experienced, Glénans allows you to discover the world of sailing and to learn or improve in numerous disciplines: catamaran, cruise ships, sailing dinghies or windsurfing. The voluntary work of the coordinators, the principles of solidarity and community life make this school, founded 60 years ago, a lot more than a training centre for sailing. Knowledge of the sea (to be able to judge it, read the sky, locate the coasts or feel the wind) is inseparable from the physical and visual pleasure that it gives you. Transmitting a passion and love for the sea is at the centre of a training course where learning about the community life is just as important as the nautical technique itself. Numerous internships are offered depending on the activity (type of small crafts: catamarans, sailing dinghies, windsurf boards...), the level and the site (3 in Brittany, 2 in the Mediterranean, the French West Indies, Croatia, Greece, etc.).
