Until the dream comes true

It is said that dreams are the essence of man.

That is certainly the case for sailors, who are always looking for a boat to set off on, or some technical evolution to simplify their life, or come up with a ruse to avoid paying their clearances, or even find solutions to improve their fishing techniques with a new lure (this is obviously a non-exhaustive list, one which is unlimited!)...

We dream awake (and even sometimes asleep) of our future cruises and often have short periods of "monomania" explaining to all those we meet why the boating life is so beautiful and why we go sailing again...

We like to sail, to set off, to cruise, to live in anchorages, to enjoy life simply. And we like to say it over and over again!

And every year, we meet up again for the big event for dreamers, at the multihull show.

There, we can exchange ideas, chat, convince ourselves, search, find, imagine, enjoy, have fun, laugh, but above all, plan our next big trip.

So, will we see you there?

Fans from every country - come along and find us. At a boat show, or in the most beautiful anchorages, to once again, share our dreams...
