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.
In this video Rémy returns for a technical and meteorological development with this Level 2 training course. This is part of his preparation for his involvement with Sea Shepherd.
Technical improvement, increased stress tolerance was the target.
I truly value Olivier’s training, which is why you’ll find an extended collection of videos on RIBsONLY.com, focused on mastering navigatiion in agitated and rough seas.
Inside Sea Shepherd RIB Training in the Raz de Sein
Rémy from Neuville-sur-Saône (France) has joined the Sea Shepherd association with the goal of serving aboard the NGO vessel John Paul DeJoria in French Guiana. His target role is bosun on a rigid inflatable boat (RIB), supporting Sea Shepherd’s marine conservation missions.
To strengthen his RIB boat handling and offshore skills, Rémy trained in the challenging waters of the Raz de Sein, a well-known testing ground for professional crews.
He has already completed the first training level, with the next certification in preparation. This hands-on Sea Shepherd RIB training improves operational readiness for future missions at sea.
He works directly with each participant, delivering demanding sessions focused on precision, confidence and real-world offshore expertise.
No other initiatives in France match this level of practical immersion and high-performance coaching.
The following testimonial was provided by a recent participant:
After the Glénan course in November, which was fantastic, I only had one desire: to take it to the next level by doing the Raz de Sein.
Honestly, I wasn’t disappointed — the training was outstanding. There was definitely stress and plenty of thrills, but in the end, so much satisfaction.
Thanks again, Olivier, for this unforgettable experience, your friendliness and your professionalism. — Olivier Rolland
