Amicale de Voile du Coulet

The Amicale de Voile du Coulet (AMI Coulet, also known as A-V-C) is a Saint-Prex association based at the Coulet harbour, on the Vaud shore of Lake Geneva between Morges and Rolle. Built on friendship and mutual help, it pools the equipment, knowledge and experience of its members — 142 in spring 2025, families included — and publishes readings from its own wind station.

It is not a school: the club provides its members with dinghies, catamarans, windsurf boards, paddleboards and kayaks, plus a sailing boat and a motorboat at Taillecou harbour. The basic membership explicitly covers sailing, kitesurfing, wingfoiling, paddleboarding and kayaking, and kitesurfers are well represented: the Association romande de kitesurf lists the Amicale among its kite clubs, members can join that association free of charge (and take out kitesurf insurance through it), and the club's photo gallery records "Kite Happy Hours" and kitefoil sessions at Le Coulet.

Riding is unsupervised: everyone goes out at their own risk, within a zone between Taillecou harbour and the Saint-Prex radio beacon, checking in and out for every session. Kitesurfers must hold the specific third-party liability insurance that is compulsory in Switzerland. During the season members meet once a week for an evening of sailing or racing; the club also organises open days, regattas, exchanges with other clubs and a sailing course.

No staffed hours or opening times: equipment is for members only, who use it freely during the season, checking in and out in the members' area of the website before and after every outing.

During the season, one sailing or racing evening a week; last-minute changes are posted on the club's WhatsApp group.

Sailing course: eight sessions spread from June to September, depending on the weather.

Contact by post only (case postale 20, 1162 Saint-Prex); membership applications go through the online registration form.
