Embarking on an adventure
The 12th Blue Water Cruising seminar, held this month in Paris aboard the Thalassa barge, was an unforgettable experience for all the participants. It was an event rich in emotions, questions and dreams, where everyone had the opportunity to project themselves and prepare for their future adventure at sea.
The Blue Water Cruising seminars have become a real rendez-vous for all those who dream of casting off and exploring the world aboard an Outremer catamaran.
Among the exceptional speakers, we were lucky enough to hear from :
- Isabelle Autissier, yachtswoman
- Xavier Desmarest, Co-Founder and Chairman of Groupe Grand Large Yachting
- Christian Dumard, Meteorologist and router
- Laurent Marion, Head of Training at Escale Formation Technique
- Bénédicte and Loïc Héliès, owners of Outremer 55 Saga
A big thank you to all the speakers for their valuable insights, and of course to all the participants who made this 12th edition such a success. Dreams of ocean cruising continue to sail, and we can’t wait to see the sailors of tomorrow cast off!
