Lifeguards and sailing instructors gathered at the CNOB

The Omaha Beach Nautical Club offered a drink of friendship on Monday to its three instructors, Jérôme Gilles, Pascal Belver and Jean-Michel Robert, as well as to the rescuers of Vierville and Colleville and the CRS of Saint-Laurent. Supported by about forty families and chaired by Michel Benoist, the association noted a rather timid start to the 1996 season, like many tourism professionals.

His two federal monitors and his assistant monitor had prepared the season, including by repairing the fleet. This included two OBI 4, six Optimist, a KL 10, two 420 and a caravel designed to introduce sailing to the children of the airy center. The room had been refreshed and the initiation took place on a delimited body of water.

The club was still far from the 90 internships of the previous year, representing an attendance of 70 students over two weeks. Despite unfavorable weather for registrations, the president hoped to have to refuse children in August, once the internships were complete.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The file name mentions 1978, but the printed text explicitly mentions the 1996 season. The rewriting follows the text.
- The relationship between the 90 internships and the 70 students over two weeks is reported as formulated in the article.
