What these waters give a sailboat
The wide Sables bay and its legendary channel, gateway of the Vendée Globe, open to the Atlantic — plenty to tack across with a real destination in mind. Departure: Port Olona, home of the Vendée Globe, and the quay in the town centre.
Setting the day by the wind
Here, an honest ocean regime: westerly swell to watch offshore, manageable breezes inshore in summer. Pick the outbound tack so you come home downwind, and the day turns easy.
