Racing yachts are a dream come true, but do not always seem accessible to the average sailor. Dream Racer Boats proposes to transform your used racing boat for your leisure use, providing you with advice and financial visibility.

A variety of navigation programs

When an amateur yachtsman buys a racing yacht, he does so with a different program depending on his personality and sailing experience. Thibaud Ramond, founder of Dream Racer Boats, understood this. In this niche of refitting offshore and inshore regatta units, which he wants to make his speciality, he distinguishes three different types of programme adapted to ocean racing boats, such as the Figaro 2, many of which will be on the market with the arrival of the Figaro Bénéteau 3: "There are those who want to do the Transquadra, those who will do the IRC regatta plus a bit of cruising and those who will do exclusively fast cruising" Dream Racer Boats intends to respond to all these programs.

Helping to transform the dream of a racing boat and visualize the refit

Not everyone is used to embarking on a boat refit project. This is all the more true for ocean racing yachts, with their materials and technicalities. To help the owner to plan ahead, Dream Racer Boats develops standard layouts according to the sailing program and the boat. This basis should be used as a starting point to adapt the details to the client's needs and enable him to turn the dream of a racing yacht into reality.

Development proposal

To give visibility on rates

Budget worries that get out of hand are a constant in boat refit projects. To avoid this and to allow the customer to anticipate the amount of the invoice, Dream Racer Boats has designed priced kits. For each of the main refit items, a list of equipment and work supplied must be proposed, with a defined and anticipated price list. This can range from the installation of a delphiniere to adhesive antifouling, the application of sprayed cork or the interior lighting of the boat. If the customer wishes, furniture to be adapted by the customer himself can also be provided on certain models of boat.
