DESIGNING
THE SHAPE OF
SPEED.
Charles-Edouard Broc — three decades engineering racing and cruising sails, from one-design dinghies to 34-sail tall ship rigs.

THE DESIGNER
A RIGOROUS, METHODICAL
APPROACH TO EVERY SAIL.
Since 1993, I have designed sails across the full spectrum — from competitive one-design fleets to complex traditional rigs where forestay loads and configuration demand a careful hand.
Today I combine that design work with coordinating Challenge Sailcloth across Europe, giving the sailmakers I work with direct access to the right materials for each project.

YOUR OUTSOURCED
DESIGN DEPARTMENT
01
A DATABASE OF
DESIGNS

AN EXPERIENCED
SAILMAKER
A real technician-to-technician dialogue, from someone who has built and sailed them.
03
OUTSOURCE,
STAY FOCUSED
Keep what you do best in-house and delegate the rest — racing or cruising, your call.
04
KEEP YOUR
LEAD TIME
Designs within 96h and a cloth-consumption report before you cut, via SailNest.
THE DESIGN
EVERY SAIL BEGINS AS A CURVE
Before a panel is cut, the sail exists as precise design curves — camber, draft and twist, station by station. Real parameters from a current project.
