" In the service and in the listening of all the sailors ". It is around this promising slogan that the people of the operation Bosco grew together , united by the same thirst to make of Port-Fréjus a friendly and attractive place. The idea to throw this operation arose from a report. If since the 1970's, the number of pleasure ports widely developed, initiatives exceeding basic service for the attention of the guest did not always follow. |
Been born in 1986, on the initiative of the French Union of sail ( FFV) and the French Union of Pleasure ports, operation consisted at first in setting up in Mandelieu's port Napoule an instructor, to help the sailors "sail" better to navigate. If it addressed initially the owners of sailboats, Bosco eventually spread sound spheres of activity, addressing this time all the sailors, to help them in their steps, to inform them about the security and to assure a reception deserving of this name.
Decisive result. Give evidence of it of the last balances of activities raised with the FFV, because Boscos of 18 associated ports intervenes regularly in the domains of the help in the mooring (50 %), of the towing and movement of boats (10 %) and different information (weather report, businesses and restaurants: 20 %). In December, 1989, operation was greeted by the ministry of the tourism through the big price for the tourist innovation.
Port-Fréjus can be proud of being of the part for four years, date to which he undertook by signing charter. Around Philippe Manon, the bosco of the port, they should eight be given of their time to facilitate life to the sailors. " People who make this demand give themselves the obligation of reception and service to the sailors, and undertake to drive them there permamence ".
| Recently Philippe Manon followed together with these homologues stemming from eighteen participating ports, from the North of La Manche, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, a forming of three days to Bandol. " We are prepared for the communication and for the reception, but also for the demonstration of safety regulations ". |  |
Strong of the success with the sailors, this operation aims henceforth to spread sound fields of competence, by the organization of operations on safety regulations in sea through day security for the attention of the sailors in partnership with the National society of Rescue in Sea ( SNSM). On August 14, the storekeepers of the port, sailors and professionals will be in confrontation by way of " The bosses - knights of Port-Fréjus ", tournament of jousts during which the participants will choose the opponent of their choice and will dash a challenge.
While the rule imposes only Bosco by associated
port, Port-Fréjus mobilized around this initiative a whole team. Philippe Manon: "
Here, all the team acts as Bosco to help the sailors. It is our philosophy ".
