Challenged by a Rough Sea

Olivier Consorti, leads the OLM Perfectionnement Mer Formée and provides training sessions out on the sea in Mercury powered RIBCRAFT.

Mastery comes with time and practice and you don’t learn seamanship from a book or in flat waters.

This time Olivier took his trainee from the Vieille lighthouse towards Armen. They traveled via the Sein causeway (France) in very agitated seas.

I highly value Olivier’s training videos.

It should come as no surprise that I’ve posted many more of them here on RIBsONLY.com.

You can enjoy them here and it’s absolutely worth it:: Training videos in agitated and rough seas.

Navigation Training by OLM

Eric recently acquired a Merry Fisher. He proactively chose to take a training.

He did this to revisit and strengthen the fundamental techniques of navigation.

This thoughtful approach reflects his commitment to safety, confidence, and competence at sea.

A follow-up training session has already been scheduled for a later date.

This will happen once Eric has accumulated more hands-on experience with his boat.

At that point, he will be ready to take the next step in his development.

He will participate in the more advanced Stage 2 course. This course will take place in the challenging waters of the Raz de Sein, France.

Kudos to Eric for his forward-thinking mindset, willingness to question himself, and dedication to continuous improvement on his maritime journey!

How to Pass a Wave Safely

Patrick, during his advanced sailing course (by OLM) amidst challenging conditions (force 4 and rough seas on Douglas), adeptly observed, analyzed, and took decisive action on the formidable waves and breakers at the Raz de Sein.

This video shows how he successfully navigated and conquered these mighty swells.

Check out this retrospective of 2022, a compliation of the best videos.
