SailBase - Training Conditions

Training Conditions:
The island is situated at the most Southern point in the French Mediterranean therefore it is in an ideal position to catch the winter winds. The island forms part of a bay that allows you to launch right off the beach and start training without having to waste time sailing to your training area.

Les Embiez has two primary Westerly winds, the "Sea Breeze" and "Mistral" both provide large waves. These two winds are onshore therefore if anything goes wrong your sailors are safely blown ashore. The other key breeze from the East is an offshore wind that provides shifty sailing conditions and flat water. Therefore you get the best of both worlds.

If the island has a fault it is because you'll lose sailing days to having too much wind instead of too little.
