Created in 1978 by Jean Berret, a well-known regatta racer, who qualified from the Ecole Boulle and Ecole des Arts Décoratifs, this naval architects office began working with Beneteau from 1779 with the First 35.
Olivier Racoupeau, also a regatta racer, who trained in the aeronautical and space industries, joined him in 1983.
These experts in long-distance cruisers have actively contributed to developing the First and Oceanis ranges by making them more seaworthy and more accessible.
Recently, for Beneteau, they designed the renewal of the over 40 foot Oceanis range, as well as the Sense; a new cruising yacht concept, the position of which is innovative, with a strong identity.
