On Friday 27 and Saturday 28 July 2012 in Mandelieu-La Napoule, the Nautical Center will host the Handi Voile 06 Tour. Last summer, nearly 500 people benefited from more than 900 sea trips on different boats, adapted trimarans, collective boats, and canoe-kayaks.
The Alpes-Maritimes General Council, in partnership with the Departmental Sailing Committee and the host municipality, is organizing the Handi Voile 06 Tour for the seventh consecutive year and offers free activities accessible to people with disabilities – all disabilities included – and seniors at various accessible beaches.
A summer event conducive to escape, discovery, and sharing
Four one-hour sea trips are offered per day aboard trimarans from the Departmental Sailing Committee 06, the collective boat Echos 90 from Cannes Jeunesse, and canoe-kayaks with or without an instructor on board, accommodating about twenty people for sailing and four to six for canoe-kayaking per trip.
Departures are scheduled at 9:30 am, 11:00 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:00 pm, by reservation.
A commitment to sustainable development
To enhance the awareness of participants on this topic, a “The Sea,… My Nature” Charter has been created to highlight the values of nautical activities in respect of the environment. Displayed on a large banner, everyone can commit to respecting the values and becoming messengers of the Charter by signing it.
An intergenerational connection
A small novelty this year, this initiative is also offered to Seniors. Cannes: 30 and 31 July, Bijou Beach accessible beach Antibes: 3 and 4 August 2012, Ponteil accessible beach
(*) Please note, this year the activity is moving to the nautical center and will no longer be held at the Rague accessible beach.
