Testimonies

Laurent B., entrepreneur – 35 – cabin boat category amateur champion: “I L-O-V-E IT! Steering a spirited sailboat that performs like a mini keelboat is pure joy. It feels like I’m playing with the big boys!”

Bruno B., MD – 40: “I go sailing every Saturday with my son 50km from Paris, it’s great! It takes 5 minutes to get ready, 5 minutes to store and it’s so exciting to be able to go sailing whenever and however I want.”

Olivier G., watchmaker – 39: “The fractional sails are a sight for sore eyes. On top of that, I can either have fun on my own unfurling all the sails, like on a regatta sailboat, or I get the self-tacking jib and my 3 year old son has a go at steering, it’s great to be able to share it with the family.”

Bernard G., business owner – 52: “I’d like to say a big thank you for all the joy the Gazelle des Sables gives us, it’s a great invention however you look at it! It can go where other boats can’t when it’s calm and it performs well and safely in rough conditions. We often sail in Saint-Victor or the gorges in the Loire which are known for their unpredictable wind because of the surrounding mountains. Basically, this boat is truly ideal for having fun whatever the conditions…”
