The magazine's philosophy
Sailing is about passing on knowledge. From the first outing to ocean crossings, everyone learns, experiments and shares.
We believe that the stories of navigators have as much to offer us through their successes as through their doubts and lessons learned.
The French Sailor showcases French nautical expertise: that of the shipyards, the architects, the craftsmen, and the sailors. A living heritage, fueled by innovation and encounters, that we wish to share far beyond our shores.

Tests
Stopovers
Technical
We give the floor to travelers who explain their choice of sailboat. We present to you these boats that may have caught your eye, all these sailboats that one encounters on long cruises around the world.
Whenever the opportunity arises, we will meet with you for a test on a catamaran or cruising monohull.
Because life on a cruise isn't just about sailing, stopovers are an integral part of the experience. Therefore, we invite you to join us in discovering places and activities you can enjoy along the way.
Kayaking, diving, hiking, restaurants, museums, unusual places are among the opportunities to share good addresses and beautiful visits.
Navigating requires the acquisition of many skills: know-how, interpersonal skills and experience.
We offer articles dedicated to the art of sailing.
New technologies are there to assist us, but it is only through learning that we can truly ensure our safety at sea.
We're taking a tour of the embedded equipment market to better guide you.
