How to Pass Big Waves: a Special Skill

This video looks back on the year 2022. It’s about advanced courses to improve navigation in heavy seas from 3 to 5 Beaufort in the Raz de Sein, France.

“OLM Perfectionnement Mer Formée” translates into the “OLM Advanced Training in Formed Sea”.

OLM stands for “Office de la Mer et des Littoraux,” which is a French organization that provides training for boaters who want to improve their skills and knowledge in navigating through rough waters, particularly in waves and choppy conditions.

In this way the trainee learns how to pass big waves. I’ve posted more videos for you to enjoy like here, here and here.

How to Pass Big Waves

This training is designed for experienced boaters who already have a basic understanding of boating techniques and safety practices while minimising the risks of accidents and injuries.

It makes it relevant for those who navigate in coastal or offshore waters, where the sea conditions can be unpredictable and challenging.

If you listen carefully you can grab some tips and advice. It is in French though and the author did not active subtitles.
