OUR SCHOOL

INTERPARUS ATLANTIQUE Yachting School

FOR 12 YEARS WE HAVE TRAINED
MORE THAN 1000 SAILING PEOPLE.

«The main problem with most "ru" speking sailing schools is their adherence to the Soviet system of education: students are "marinated" in the classroom, overloaded with theory. We at Interparus have decided to go the way of maximum efficiency and benefit for the students.

The best western schools (for example, DHH or Les Glenans) give their students only the necessary minimum of theory, devoting most of the time to practice. And it is reasonable, because new knowledge is much faster and more firmly fixed in the memory when it is intensively applied in practice under the supervision of an experienced instructor, who is always ready to support and back up.

Also the experience that we have adopted from the old European schools is to start training on yachts no bigger than 32 feet. This allows beginners not to be afraid of the yacht and to feel its size.»

Sasha Goron, Interparus founder
