Description : The MC2 is ideal for beginners and more advanced yachtsmen. The ergonomic seat and adjustable swingbar make it suitable for children and adults, whatever their height. It is multiskilled, robust and flexible, making it fast but safe. Flexibility, stability and high speed make the Standard the ideal sand yacht for advanced students and longer trips. The lying down position creates a whole new steering experience.
Activity : Given by a qualified instructor, the lesson is based on theoretical and practical aspects recommended by the French sand yachting federation (Fédération Française de Char à Voile).
- For beginners, emphasis is placed on the pleasure of travelling on a wind-propelled craft. Learning takes place at your own pace.
- The 3-lesson course is ideal for anybody wishing to learn more about the sport and acquire greater technical skills.
- Longer trips are designed for people who already have some experience and are looking for something a bit different.
