ABOUT THE LOFT

With decades of sailmaking experience, Doyle Sails Cannes brings a central Mediterranean location. The loft is a fully equipped centre with experienced sailors and sailmakers that can offer high quality service as well as Doyle exclusive technologies and a  comprehensive range of traditional panelled sails, canvas products and a repair service. 

In 2014, Alain integrated for the first time a very thin photovoltaic film into a sail racing membrane, creating the first solar sail. Tested during the Route du Rhum that same year, the technology was refined and developped for several yachting applications, leading to a new succesful test at the Vendée Globe 2016.

Joining the Doyle Network in 2023, Alain and his team bring a wealth of knowledge and fill a gap for a location in France.
