The genesis of the project lies in the TRIBORD brand's mission to make sailing a unique and accessible experience for everyone, from beginners to experts. From 2015 the creation of the project focused on sailing sports, the team wanted to establish a base camp in the heart of the best nautical ecosystem in the world. Many cities were visited with this in mind and La Rochelle fulfilled all the criteria we had set ourselves. Now based as close as possible to the people who practice sailing, our teams can interact and co-create on a daily basis. Thanks to the Decathlon network, these products will be available all over the world and I hope they will facilitate the practice of sailing sports.
