During the Tonnerres de Brest 2012, visitors can watch races and competitions of manoeuvres or take part by embarking on heritage boats for outings at sea.
Visitors can thus experience the maritime adventure to the full and learn the history of the boats recounted by specialized guides or the sailors themselves.
A unique opportunity for you to experience the sea first hand and sample naval history in the shoes of a sailor for one day.

Traditional sailing boats
Halyards flap, shrouds tauten, the bow cleaves the waves: you are on board a traditional boat, in the salty wind of the Iroise sea, under the protection of well-informed sailors. On the occasion of the Tonnerres de Brest 2012, offer your family or friends the pleasure of casting off and hoisting sails; sailing in the traditional way, amidst an unprecedented armada; returning to port under a fair wind, back to the warmth of maritime traditions and seafarers...
Hire rates for passenger launches and traditional sailing boats will be published by the end of 2011.
