CNR Centre Nautique de Roscoff

Our fleet

The whole fleet of the Centre Nautique de Roscoff, from your very first outing to open water: catamarans, dinghies, kayaks and our accessible keelboat. Find the boat that will get you out on the water.

Catamarans

Fast, stable and easy to handle: our catamarans take you safely from your first outing all the way to the thrill of planing.

  • × 8

    NewCat 12

    Introductory — age 8+
    • 12 feet (3.60 m)
    • 1 to 2 people

    The very first catamaran, designed to reassure.

    Stable and easy to handle, it's the ideal boat for discovering sailing with confidence, alone or with a crewmate.

  • × 4

    Hobie Cat T1

    Improvers — teens and adults
    • 14 feet (4.10 m)
    • 2 to 3 people

    The next step towards speed.

    Bigger and with more sail area, the T1 can be sailed with or without a trapeze — a step up towards a more athletic sailing experience.

  • × 6

    Dart 16

    Experienced
    • 16 feet (4.80 m)
    • 2 people

    For lovers of pure speed.

    Longer, with more sail area and rigged with a spinnaker, the Dart 16 is the catamaran for experienced crews chasing speed and thrills.

Dinghies

From the youngest sailors' first single-hander to competition doubles, by way of a group dinghy: a fleet for every age and every ambition.

  • × 10

    Optimist

    Introductory — ages 7 to 12
    • 7.5 feet (2.30 m)
    • 1 child

    The first boat, the one you helm on your own.

    Small, unsinkable and very stable, the Optimist is the most widely used training dinghy in the world. At the helm alone from the very first sessions, children safely learn the basics of sailing before moving on to double-handed boats.

  • × 3

    RS Feva

    Junior — double-handed
    • 12 feet (3.64 m)
    • 2 young crewmates

    The first double-hander, straight after the Optimist.

    Light, fun and fitted with a gennaker, the Feva lets young sailors sail double-handed and discover their first taste of speed.

  • × 1

    Vago

    Intermediate / experienced
    • 13.8 feet (4.20 m)
    • 2 people

    A lively double-hander, for progressing towards performance sailing.

    Trapeze and racing gennaker: the Vago is the boat for developing a taste for speed and competition.

  • × 1

    RS Quest

    Family / all levels
    • 14.1 feet (4.29 m)
    • 2 to 4 people

    The small group boat, for sailing as a family.

    Wide, stable cockpit: the Quest carries an instructor and several trainees, or a whole family, for a relaxed outing together.

  • × 2

    Caravelle

    Group introduction
    • 15 feet (4.60 m)
    • Up to 7 crewmates

    The historic training dinghy of French sailing clubs.

    Designed for Les Glénans sailing school, the Caravelle has trained generations of sailors. Its large cockpit holds several crewmates for friendly, group-based learning.

  • × 2

    420

    Experienced / competition
    • 13.8 feet (4.20 m)
    • 2 people

    The boat for crews aiming for competition.

    The preferred next step after the Optimist, the 420 prepares young crews for racing and, eventually, the Olympic 470.

Kayaks

Alone, with a partner or as a family, independently or on a guided trip: our kayaks suit every kind of outing on the water.

  • × 8

    Sit-on-top

    All levels
    • Depends on model
    • 1 or 2 people

    Simple, stable, accessible to everyone.

    Unsinkable and easy to get the hang of, the 1- or 2-seat sit-on-top kayak is the ideal boat for a first independent trip around the bay.

  • × 10

    Kayak de mer

    Intermediate / experienced
    • Depends on model
    • 1 person

    For venturing further, exploring the coastline.

    Sleeker and faster, the sea kayak lets confident paddlers venture out to the islets and coves of the Léon coast, alone or on a guided trip.

Keelboats

Our group keelboat, designed for sailing together — so that no one is left ashore.

  • × 1

    Écho 90

    Adapted sailing — guided group outings
    • 30 feet (9.14 m)
    • Group outing, with skipper

    A sailing boat open to everyone, including those for whom sailing usually feels out of reach.

    A 9-metre group keelboat, twin-keeled and unsinkable, the Écho 90 can secure up to two wheelchairs on either side of the mizzen mast. Designed for guided coastal sailing, it lets everyone experience a day at sea, whatever their sailing level or disability.
