History of the Franck Roy Shipyard

The Franck Roy shipyard was founded in 1998 by Franck Roy, a passionate of boats and vintage cars. Initially trained as a shipwright, Franck Roy worked over ten years at Sysba Marine and Latitude 46 before creating his own shipyard. It quickly became renowned for its neo-classical sailboats, blending traditional aesthetics with modern technology. In 2019, the yard was taken over by Romuald Tuffery, a young Vendée-based entrepreneur, who aimed to modernize the processes while preserving the craftsmanship and DNA of the yard. Despite challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the yard continues to produce high-quality boats appreciated for their design and performance.
