Les Glenans : THE reference

"To establish, between men and women from all countries, links through nautical activities"... This objective, as mentioned in the Glénans’ statutes, conveys the humanism and open-mindedness of their founders, more than 60 years ago.

The Glénans Sailing Handbook

The Glénans Sailing Handbook is a collection of the knowledge acquired since the beginning of the sailing school and is the reference handbook in the yachting world, in France and abroad.
