Passions

Sailing

His dual Nantes and Corsican origins make Alain Dominique Perrin a passionate advocate of sailing and fishing.

Aile VI

In 1994, together with some friends, he was able to become owner of the sailing ship Aile VI, 8 metres of J.I, Olympic Winner in 1928, discovered in a hanger at St. Malo.

After intensive restoration, Aile VI took to the sea again in 1996.

Today classed as Historic French Heritage, the sailing ship participates in international nautical events like the Lancel Classic, royal regattas at Cannes, sailing off St. Tropez, European Championships and World Championships in its category.

Aile VII

In 2003, Alain Dominique Perrin decided to create with the architect Jean-Marie Finot his own sailing ship, the ADP52, a high-tech racing-cruise ship of 15.70 metres. The prototype was entirely built of carbon, ADP52 combines performances of a racing boat with the comfort of a pleasure boat. It attains speeds of 15-30% greater than sailing boats of the same length. There are plans to build 9 examples in a limited series.

The first, owned by Alain Dominique Perrin, was named Aile VII.

Star of the Seas

In 2005, Alain Dominique Perrin decided to restore Star of the Seas, the sailing boat belonging to his father, born in the dockyards of the Vendée in 1903. He puts it at the disposal of the “Grain of Salt” organisation of Noirmoutier to allow underprivileged children from the island to sail in groups every week during the summer holidays, supervised by a trainer and professional skipper.
