Sand Yachting in France

Northern france is the world centre of sandyachting. almost all the northern beaches have clubs. To contact clubs it would be best to go through the Fisly links for clubs . the web site for FISLY can be set for your language. Sorry I cant give you a better email adress for contacts as our puch for the first of the month was the harddrive on the main pooter crashing terminally. Iyou can contact the Royal sandyacht at DePanne they are a great bunch and you can sail off to france and back. ask for the Demusyere's and ell them Paul Day said to say hello. If youve not had any luck in the next few weeks , email and we will see what can be organized

Hello,

we were luky enough to be able to gon to France on may 2007.

we were driving in normandy, near Caen and suddendly we saw a kind of marian, full of mast, but all were landsailers, for us it was a dream!! we stopped and went inside, it was the Hermanville landsailing club, heade by Monsieur Rene Mann, who also is the president of the Promo Class Association. they were very helpfull and nice to us.

The guy with the green swater is Rene Mann. the one at the left is my friend Calixto from Chile and the tall guy is Danilo From argentina.



I wish we could have a yard like this here in Chile!!



The invited us to go landsailing on the beach, it was a cold and rainy day, the took us to Asnelle, another place some 20 km north of Hermanville, on Omaha beach.

The sand was very bumpy and real wet!! a whole new experience to us, as we are use to sail on dry lakes, very soft, this was really wet, salt waterand sand on my eyes and into my neck .

The whole Normandy peninsula on the english channel are full of landsailing clubs.
In the west coast we went to Bretteville sur Ay. and the club "les Manchots" they have landsailers, and at least to us, they didnt charge for use them.
You could contact, Philippe Cabannes from St. germain, he was our host in the european promo cup. philippecabannes@wanadoo.fr he is a very nice person I am sure he will helpyou.
