Gaëtan
Sailing instructor
With a father sailing instructor and a mother windsurfing instructor, I learned to sail faster than to walk. Passionate about regattas, I did my first competition at 8 years old and have never really been able to stop since. I look forward to meeting you soon on board to share my experience on this beautiful lake.

We find there the values that we wish to reflect through the association. I look forward to meeting you on the water or on land and sharing moments of adventure with you.
Marie
Teacher
Celtic-Valaisian, raised on ribot milk and apricot juice, I
was very quickly sent to walk at the end of a rope, whether it was a mainsail
halyard or a climbing abseiling line… I love working at GSS, it fills me with
happiness to be able to pass on my passion to others and I continue to learn
every day with my students.
Benjamin
Social Coordinator Anyone Can Sail
My role is to establish collaborations between associations and other institutions, in order to make sailing accessible to all. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a project to propose! An expert in international human rights law, I'm passionate about gender equality issues and am active in several associations.
