Description of Claude's sailboat
Sailboat Dufour 365 Gl 10.81m
BlackBird is a very comfortable 11-meter sailboat. It features a spacious saloon with an open-plan galley and three double cabins. The boat's entire sailcloth has just been renewed: the mainsail at the beginning of summer, as well as the lazy bag and the genoa these days; both were made from the black polyester range. A new Furlex furler completes the system. A Digital AIS system has also been installed. A tender and an electric motor are very practical for going ashore. And so on...

Overall rating
Five of us boarded Claude's sailboat for a day at sea that went very well. A steady, good wind of 12 to 15 knots allowed us to reach Houat Island for lunch. We had time to dive off the boat with the children, then we headed back. Sailing in the Gulf is very exciting, and the scenery is magnificent. Claude let us take the helm whenever possible and was very attentive to ensuring our day was a success. A very good experience for us. Thank you, Claude.
Our whole family had a wonderful time with Claude. He was able to convey his passion for his boat, taking us wherever we wanted to sail. The discussions were seamless beforehand. Our greatest gift was the wonder of our eldest son during this voyage; he left enriched by a wonderful experience at sea and by the exchanges with Claude.
A very, very nice day with Claude. We received plenty of explanations and were able to participate in the maneuvers as much as we wanted. Well, the lack of wind for most of the day was a little frustrating, but experiencing the tide (with a good coefficient) in the Gulf of Morbihan is an unforgettable experience. Claude is a skipper who inspires confidence. We were even "lucky" enough to participate in assisting a boat. In short, don't hesitate to go out on the Black Bird, it's a superb experience to live.
We are delighted with our day on the Blackbird boat which perfectly met our expectations. The owner Claude is a remarkable person. He has a very good attitude, listens and was able to give the explanations necessary for good navigation. It is a very good experience that we recommend with Claude.

Je pratique la voile depuis longtemps : en stages, en croisière avec des amis ou la famille, à bord de voiliers de location puis avec mes propres bateaux. Se sont succédés deux Brises de mer l'un après l'autre, puis un Dufour 325 et deux Dufour 365 successivement. J'ai surtout navigué en Bretagne sud et nord, en Angleterre, un peu moins en Méditerranée (deux traversés continent et tour de Corse). En 2016, je me suis baladé avec mon Dufour 325 de Deauville à la Suède. Aujourd'hui retraité, je partage mon temps entre Paris et le Golfe du Morbihan. J'ai longtemps été journaliste avant d'enseigner l'écriture au CFPJ et à l'Université Paris 8 où j''étais professeur associé... Récemment j'ai ramené mon nouveau Dufour 365 depuis les Pays-Bas jusqu'à Vannes après 750 nms.
