Description of Bernard's sailboat

Translate to English (UK)

Sailboat Tes Magnam 28 Pieds 8.68m

Hello, The sailboat is a centerboarder, which means it has a beaching sole allowing it to land dry, and always flat on the sand, without the need for props. With its 0.38m draft, it can sail up rias and small rivers and beach itself very easily anywhere....and thanks to its magnificent folding aft deck, everyone (young and old) can easily step onto the beach without getting their feet wet (if you wait a few minutes), while the tide recedes a little further. At sea, an integrated swim ladder provides easy and safe access to the pool. You can take a mini virtual tour of the TES28 on the importer's website "tesyachtfrance," where videos show the interior, beaching, etc. "I only sail together: I'M ALWAYS ON BOARD." The rate is for 1 person: (allow €50/day/additional person for the 2nd person and above (discounted based on the number of days)...) Special conditions for families with children... This sailboat is new and I cherish it like the apple of my eye, and even if I'm happy to give up the helm, I always remind everyone that I'm always on board. In the area, there are idyllic spots for beautiful cruises and stopovers (Île de Ré, Île d'Oléron, Île d'Aix, Fort Boyard tour). Etc.... You can also spend a night anchored in the open sea in Aix, Ars-en-Ré, etc. But with more time (from 6/7 days...), it's possible to go further up towards Les Sables-d'Olonne, St. Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, the Isle of Yeu, Noirmoutier, etc., always depending on weather conditions, wind direction, and sea conditions. VEST REQUIRED for those who can't swim and FOR EVERYONE during more challenging weather conditions. Only slight drawback: the boat is non-smoking except in the event of a "major crisis": "Exemption possible on the aft transom if the weather is mild, at least outside..." On board, all the comfort of a new sailboat, but above all, with very large volumes and a habitability worthy of a 10-meter boat.... On deck, a bimini, companionway sprayhood, and sun awning protect against sunburn or the rain when it hits us. Takes by treachery... You can eat outside thanks to the removable table and a large communal area on deck... When you discover it on the website or at the port, you'll understand why it's the one I took the time to choose after having done the same thing with its little brother, the TES720, which I've just put up for sale, almost reluctantly.... Sincerely, Bernard PS: The tanks are filled before departure, then upon arrival at the port on the last evening! General expenses (port, fuel, food) are the responsibility of the renters. The participants are the ones who choose and pay for the nights at the ports (other than La Rochelle - free) unless we stay at anchor (free) when the weather permits. You must also factor in start-up and cleaning costs of 80 euros, knowing that I have to arrive the day before and leave the next day to prepare and maintain the boat.

En juin dernier, nous avons passé un bon moment sur le bateau de Bernard, il est très sympa et partage facilement ses nombreuses expériences, nous avons découvert un bateau très facile à manœuvrer. Le manque de vent nous a laisser un peu sur notre faim... expérience à renouveler !

These 4 days on the Ascension Bridge were exceptional in the company of Bernard! Beyond the sun and the wind the boat is very comfortable and well thought out. Bernard is a great skipper who likes to communicate and is very attentive to his passengers/teammates! We recommend!

Great weekend around the Île de Ré under radiant sunshine, despite some good times of calm and not very successful fishing! Bernard takes great care of his boat and its passengers and is always attentive to safety rules. The 2 cabins are spacious and comfortable (we were 2 adults and 3 children without any pbm) and the boat is well equipped. Thank you for these good times!

Bernard is a passionate person who likes to share and knows his navigation basin perfectly. The boat is comfortable, well equipped and well maintained. In addition, the 3-day navigation program fully met our expectations.

Rich in emotions and confidence in the captain who has mastered a delicate situation of impressive gusts. For a first experience, it is unforgettable.

The weather, the site, the navigations, the passion and the quality of the captain. All the ingredients for an unforgettable stay. Always too short. But how is it possible to squeeze in so many good times in such a short time? ?? Congratulations and thank you Bernard.

Great 4 days with Bernard on his beautiful TES dinghy. Unforgettable moments in these pretty ports of the Ile de Ré and Oléron. Fishing for mackerel and clams will keep a very fun memory.

We had a wonderful week. Even if the weather was not great I learned a lot. Thanks to Bernard we ventured into unusual places that I would never have found alone. Bernard likes to share his know-how and love of the sea.

Bernard is very sympathetic and a good navigator, he leaves the possibility to his team members to invest in the maneuvers according to their capacities and the conditions of navigation. Considering her modest dimensions, her boat is well equipped and very comfortable. We had 4 wonderful days on board and we recommend. Marie and Francois

Three great days with Bernard. He is very available, an educator and listens to his passengers. Experience to be repeated as soon as possible and without moderation. I recommend you to embark with Bernard! Carlos and Denis

We spent three lovely days aboard the TES 28. Bernard was a pleasant host who did not hesitate to entrust us with the helm. Our children also keep fond memories of their stay on board. Thank you again for welcoming us on your beautiful sailboat and for letting us know about the charming port of Boyardville.
