After seven years of growth under the management of Sébastien Pebelier, Lorient-based Decosail is changing hands.

Founded in 2018 by Sébastien Pebelier, Decosail has established itself as a benchmark in the field of sail covering and painting, particularly with ocean racing teams, but also with yachtsmen. Since its beginnings, the company has grown steadily, relying on its 1,000 m² premises in Lorient, with an area dedicated to covering capable of simultaneously accommodating a Class40 and Mini 6.50.

After five years with the team, Colombine Blondet and Émilie Masselin are now taking over 100% of Decosail's shares. Sébastien Pebelier, for his part, will accompany this transition for six months before taking a break from his professional life to devote himself to a personal project.
