INTRODUCING
Passion for sailing, I steer my studies to the shipbuilding industry and the composite materials
processes. So I began to work in shipyards to build and prepare racing boats. During my military
service in the pole research and development of the national school of sailing, i’ve realized many
parts prototype for the offshore race and Olympic sailing. Later, I’ve decided to learn the design
computer-assisted tools, and follow a office technician training (Autocad and Catia V5 softwares).
In 2002, with this training I’ve integrated Le Defi Areva to prepare for the 31st America’s cup
campaign. In 2003, I’ve worked in Arcachon within the Aquitaine Design Team for the Yves Par-
lier’s Hydraplanneur design.
In 2004, I have been contacted by the Team Banque Populaire to track changes in the Pascal Bidegorry’s trimaran Banque Populaire IV. This experience allows me to make the link between architects and operators.
In 2005, I’ve integrated Areva Challenge’s Design Team to prepare the 32nd America’s Cup in Valencia, I spot as the integration of mechanical systems to the deck layout, construction drawings and boat building follow up.
In 2007, I have been contacted by United Internet Team Germany in preparation for the 33rd America’s cup. In 2008, I decided to create the company DIMENSION Yacht Engineering.
