In 2010 Renaud created and managed a multihull project company and over the last two years has worked on several types of boats in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean including a Bordeaux 60, Nautitech 47, Lagoon 620 and Rafoly 92 – the latter gained him Racing Champion of France in 2011.

Happy new year to you!
We had a great time. The crew was like family, we cried a little when saying good bye. Pierre was adorable and had a great sense of humor! Very responsible and we felt completely safe in his hands. Danielle was also a great chef and had a wonderful personality. Paula is amazing. Everything was done to perfection. The food was abundant, maybe too much. Three formal meals a day was killing me!
