Hi,
We are going to France in August and wanted to go sand yachting there. Has anyone tried it on any of the French beaches - if so which ones are good? I've tried looking on the net but my French isn't too good when it comes to sand yachting technicalities! Thanks for your help.
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
If you email "jeqs" who is a contributor to this site but actually lives in Chile, I am sure he would tell you the best locations to go to in France. He has posted quite a few photos of what appear to be hire land yachts in France.
It's pretty big time over there so you won't have too much trouble finding good spots.
Be sure to take heaps of photos and post them on the site and tell us all about it when you get back. Have a great trip!!! Cheers from Cisco.
Hello,
While you were sleeping, I was working in this side of the world.
(actually working at the office, but I managed to have some spare time to build this map!!)
This are the main spots and club locations in the north part of France.
Also, the French federation launched today their new web site, very organized with all the address of the clubs.
