Erik le Rouge VilleAudrain (1986)

Sailing Performance & Adventure Course: Welcome aboard Grand Citron Vert!
Share a unique sailing experience in Polynesia, between technical expertise
and the sweetness of life.
The Boat: A thoroughbred of the seas Grand Citron Vert (1980) is a legendary catamaran
from the Ville Audrain series (13.40 m x 7.50 m), designed by Erik Le Rouge.
With only 7 tons, this light and swift sailboat is designed for speed
and gliding. Forget the "easy-going" navigation of rental catamarans: here,
we adjust the sails, feel the helm, and enjoy incredible gliding sensations
on the turquoise water.
The Skipper: Expertise at the service of your passion
Luc has been sailing since the age of 8, his first waves having been traced at the Tahiti sailing club.
- Sailing Professional: 1st and 2nd degree Instructor and Coach.
- Great traveler: Since 2022, he has crossed the Atlantic, explored
the Caribbean and Panama, before completing his Pacific crossing
to return to his homeland. Luc is not just a captain,

to managing autonomy on long cruises.
