OUR STORY<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Chantier Fernand Herv\u00e9 embodies above all a family of people passionate about a job well done, driven by unfailing standards, whatever the job we undertake. As sailors at heart, we have always been lulled by the sound of the waves, and our history finds its roots in this common passion. This fascination with the sea permeates our DNA and is reflected in each of our creations.<\/span><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A family story<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 1946 in La Rochelle, Fernand Herv\u00e9, known as Tonton, an emblematic figure in post-war shipbuilding and yachting, founded his shipyard. The latter will quickly become a key player in the field of shipbuilding. A keen sailor, his passion for speed and comfort pushes him to design and build boats designed for excellence. From his creativity emerges new techniques, making him one of the precursors of molded wood and composite materials.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 1984, Pierrot Louis, his spiritual son, took the reins of the shipyard and continued the production of prototypes for the regatta. It is also expanding the subcontracting activity for large nautical yards, specializing in the production of mother parts and molds.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Today, Chantier Herv\u00e9 is managed by Alain Balzeau, son-in-law of Pierrot Louis, who continues to perpetuate in the family, surrounded by loyal collaborators, the know-how and thirst for technical challenges inherited from his predecessors. Recently joined by his youngest son, B\u00e9renger Balzeau, the team gives birth to ever more innovative sailboats and motorboats, thus consolidating the shipyard's reputation for excellence in the field of shipbuilding.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
