Meet Michel! 👋
Basic Cruising

Michel’s sailing journey began with a family dinghy, figuring out the ropes and gears. His passion ignited during sailing lessons on Lake Champlain and a memorable trip to the US Virgin Islands. When he realized he preferred the water over the beach, he dove deeper into sailing.

Michel earned his American Sailing Association Keelboat and Coastal Navigation certifications, leading him to charter a boat and navigate through Hurricane Dean—a challenging yet invaluable experience. His enthusiasm led him to purchase a 46-foot Beneteau, which he’s enjoyed sailing along the US east coast, Caribbean, Mediterranean, and beyond. Michel has logged over 30,000 nautical miles across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.

Now back in Ottawa, Michel is excited to share his extensive knowledge and passion for sailing with others. We’re incredibly lucky to have Michel on our team—his experience and enthusiasm truly set him apart. In his own words, “there’s nothing quite like it!”
