Honestly? I have no idea... I don't sail, really. I'm only here to wind up Contender443! From my experience, French people are less aware of dinghy sailing. It probably has to do with geography; many more people live inland. However, in coastal areas, there are (partly) government-funded schemes to encourage sailing for all ages. Classes are different as well. My sis is a member of a club where club boats are mostly cats (Hobies, really, and a couple of Darts). There are also a few monohulls, but mostly French makes (fair enough...). This club employs a permanent instructor/manager, plus 2 part-timers in the summer. They organise lots of activities during the holidays, for children and adults alike. Unfortunately, that's all I can tell since I have no real experience of other clubs. If you can speak French, have a look on the Fédération Française de Voile website: http://www.ffvoile.org/FfvHtml/accueil.asp In the category Type de bateau, choose Dériveur (dinghy). You can get links to class associations and various local clubs. Hope it helped |

That's one way of showing an interest in a language. After all, any language is only a means to an end... Something lots of teachers don't realise, especially for GCSE!
