A solemn moment took place in the Grand Chamber of the Rennes Court of Appeal this Wednesday morning as I was sworn in as a court-appointed expert before Jean-Baptiste Parlos, First President. This new role will allow me to approach maritime expertise from a complementary, highly formal perspective, with strict procedures and often significant stakes. […]

Time For Oceans II has arrived safely in port!!
As planned, our sailing trip in the North Sea in October began! We set off under a beautiful sun and a light breeze, soon replaced by a strong wind. The sea became rough as soon as we reached the north of Denmark, with swells sometimes reaching 5 meters. Fortunately, Time For Oceans II is a […]
Sea Trial of the DG 5.5
After the Grand Pavois boat show in La Rochelle, we optimized the preparation of the DG 5.5. Fine-tuning a sailboat always takes some time. We worked on the rigging, deck hardware, rudders, and numerous other improvements. The weather conditions that day were perfect for testing the modifications at sea: a light breeze, sunshine, almost summer-like […]
Delivery of Time For Oceans II
The sale is finalized, and “Alicia” officially becomes “Time For Oceans II.” All that remains is to bring the boat back to the port of Kernevel (Larmor-Plage). No small feat in the autumn at these high latitudes. The North Sea is not known for its calm waters. In addition to the harsh conditions, there is […]

A comprehensive survey afloat, ashore, and at sea has confirmed the vessel’s […]

The DG 5.5 was built using highly sustainable methods: no molds, wood and partially bio-based epoxy resin, and recycled carbon fibers. The CO2 emissions are excellent, with a 30% reduction compared to a similar unit […]

In collaboration with Multiplast and Nova Carbon, we have just completed a second series of mechanical characterization tests on innovative material compositions. In 2023, we tested the first recycled carbon fibers developed […]

In addition to a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions, the specifications call for a simple, fast, beachable, and transportable sailboat optimized for day sailing along the coast and allowing overnight stays in […]
