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 […]
DG 5.5 Construction
The construction of the DG 5.5 is nearing completion. The boat will soon be launched for its first sea trials! 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 […]
Test Specimen Manufacturing
Since 2018, Time For Oceans has been designing and testing manufacturing techniques to limit the environmental impact of building racing and cruising boats. 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 […]
Introducing the DG 5.5
Time For Oceans has partnered with Jérôme Clément to build the DG 5.5 – a 5.5-meter scow with a low environmental impact construction. 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 […]
