“The neoclassical dayboat”
A 100% French shipyard, proudly based in Bordeaux, that designs and builds its luxury sailboats.
What is a CAPE COD sailboat? It’s the very essence of a luxury dayboat, a semi-custom sailboat designed to combine practicality and refinement.
Each one is a fully keeled, beachable, and comfortable boat. Depending on the model, they are transportable and offer comfortable living quarters, with a small cabin and two berths for one or two nights on board.
Our philosophy is based on the perfect harmony between timeless aesthetics and nautical innovation, ensuring that each CAPE COD sailboat perfectly matches your desires and sailing habits. “Your daily dose of Sailing”
Our approach is exemplified by our exceptional expertise in precision shipbuilding. But why choose a semi-custom dayboat sailboat made in France? Because in the vast majority of cases, every prospective owner first falls irrevocably in love with the pure elegance and beautiful lines of our models, before searching for a vessel that truly reflects their personality. They will be captivated by the iconic and neoclassical Cape Cod 896, or the modern and rebellious Cape Cod 767 Lounge. Then, their attention turns to performance on the water, intelligent craftsmanship, and the exceptional quality of the bespoke finishes. This is where our strength truly shines: as a builder of resin sailboats, adorned with teak (natural or synthetic), we are 100% self-sufficient in the design and construction of our high-end yachts. This complete independence gives us the freedom to respond to even the most specific requests, allowing us to create unique CAPE COD yachts.
It is then that passion takes hold, and our future owners come to meet us directly at the shipyard, in our Bordeaux workshops in the Bassins à Flot district. Thus begins a beautiful human and technical story. A rich collaboration, full of exchanges around the design of their vessel, taking the time to meticulously craft every detail of their dream sailboat. A privileged relationship built on trust. The highlight is often the launch in their corner of paradise and the sharing of the few days of getting to grips with the boat, a foundational experience that then continues throughout their sailing trips and escapes on the water.
“Your daily dose of sailing”
We always put in the time and resources to ensure that each boat is 100% what you expect.
The sailboat builder ROSEWEST was created in 2004 in Lorient, Brittany.
At the time, it offered a range of traditionally-built 100% teak boats with exemplary finishes. A few years later, Herve Nollet, the shipyard’s founder, decided to move “further south”, and set up the shipyard in Bordeaux on the Bassins à flot.
