Outremer Yachting and Allures Yachting shipyards organized jointly in Paris on the 18th of July the first seminar dedicated to preparation for a sea voyage.
About twenty Outremer and Allures owners, all expecting to leave within the next 12 months, received precious advices from Jimmy Cornell and Geoffroy de Bouillane.
Jimmy Cornell, with 3 round the world trips on every seas, is the reference author for sailors with best sellers such as 'World Cruising Routes' or 'World Cruising Handbook'
Geoffroy de Bouillane reported in his book "Un temps pour un rêve’’, his exeprience about one sabbatical year with his family across the Atlantic on an Outremer 45.
They answered participants questions on many subjects such as: route planning, practical aspects of life onboard, administration procedures, teaching children...
Both sailors shared their exeprience, including their initial fears and the magic moments they lived afterwards; travelogue widely illustrated with photos and anecdotes, made everybody feelling the fresh breeze of ocean going trips!
Owners crossed their opinions and debated largely on the many questions that always appear when the D-Day for leaving comes.
As participants where delighted with this first experience, more seminars will be organised on various subjects, but still within the "long distance cruising pole" created by the matching of Outremer and Allures.
