Training Video from France

Remember the very first time you took the helm? We all had to start somewhere. Maybe you had a mentor to guide you, or perhaps you enrolled in a practical course to learn the ropes.

In this video, Yoann and Pierre-Henri, organised by the French OLM, are determined to enhance their sailing skills and ensure safer voyages in the future. It’s all about safety first.

This training comprised four key experiences: docking, high-speed direction changes, understanding wind versus current dynamics, and experiencing the impact of the kill cord.

I’ve posted many more videos of these courses, primarily focusing on navigating in big waves.

Passing Waves Training by OLM

OLM Perfectionnement Mer Formée (OLM Perfecting Agitated Sea) specializes in training individuals to navigate RIBs amidst challenging sea conditions, specifically focusing on mastering the art of maneuvering through waves and currents.

The training grounds are situated in the tumultuous waters of Raz de Sein, France, where powerful currents converge, providing an ideal environment for honing maritime skills.

This session’s participant is Rémy, hailing from the Paris region.

Technical Wave Passage Training by OLM Perfectionnement Mer Formée

Nathalie is a polar guide who supervises individuals and groups in polar and sub-polar environments.

She came here to learn how to navigate in rough seas to improve her technical skills in boat management.

In that way she can be more operational and more in tune with everything that’s transversal to navigation.

I’ve collected more wave training videos that’s sometimes in rough sea.
