Founded in 1963, the Yacht Club is a racing school which gives lessons to adults and children to help them become winners! 

Children are quickly guided, if possible, to the pre racing school and start racing at the local events in order to taste the racing atmosphere. Adult lessons are run every Saturday morning from 9.30am for three hours.

The flagship of the Association is its sailing school who offer throughout the year internships to young people from 6 years and adults in optimists and dinghies.

"Our coastline commits us to wear loud colors Cannes. And the future is of course the young and it is the same for our sport. We must think about the notes .It need to offer to our young people the opportunity to discover Cannes sailing sports which is done for years a natural and magical .The sea is a wonderful gift from heaven for our region then it must be favored. Our school has a specification, it forms in the competition. And competition is the school of sharing, effort, brotherhood, it's a great way to prepare our young people for life. Sailing is a sport that requires high quality, quick decisions, intelligent and beyond the racing rules, there are ethical rules and etiquette." - Jean Claude Montesinos
