QBE Sailing's European Leadership School

QBE Sailing's European Leadership School QBE uses signature classic yachts to take teens on expeditions along the coastlines of Brittany (western France) and the British Channel Isles.

www.elsleaders.com The ELS is a premium outdoor adventure program for teens, operated by QBE Education in St-Malo (Brittany) France. We use stylish old-school sailing yachts to take teens from St-Malo to postcard destinations in the Channel Islands and along the south coast of England. Directed by one of Europe's most experienced life-skills mentors and sailing coaches, each maritime expedition is

a voyage of life-changing personal and cultural discovery. All instructors are licensed by the Royal Yachting Association, and the program meets all RYA safety standards. Follow us on Twitter:

"A La Recherche du temps perdu" (Searching for Lost Time)
Somebody wrote a book about that. We deliver it every summer.

Sailing a traditional QBE cutter along the Breton coast is, in many ways, the closest thing to a time machine that exists. Ancient neolithic stones. Centuries-old châteaux and churches. Seventeenth-century fortifications. WWII submarine pens.

It's not that a journey through time removes young mariners from the present—but it reconnects them to a rich, amazing history; a past that's still palpable in the coastal towns that dot the Breton coastline.

We don't simply take our young crew members to extraordinary places. We invite them to explore and discover them—fully and authentically.

And in that discovery, something noticeable inevitably happens:

They don't just return home with Insta-worthy pics and indelible memories. They return with a new sense of perspective—of where they stand in the long arc of history.
