BUREAU VALLÉE
Davy discovered sailing relatively late in life. It was at the age of 13 that he first became interested in boats and the world of sailing. At 16, he took part in his first races aboard a Mini 6.50, where he discovered a true passion for offshore racing. This experience marked the beginning of a competitive career that would quickly take shape.
His career has been marked by numerous strong performances and as many as 15 victories, which have helped establish his reputation as both a sailor and a competitor.
A sailor and a technician, he founded his own boatyard, Nautymor, in Hennebont at just 18 years old. There he built up solid expertise in preparing and optimising racing boats, skills that led him to sail alongside top-level skippers in both IMOCA and Ultim. In 2023, he joined Louis Burton on board and deepened his experience of the IMOCA circuit.
In 2026, a new chapter begins: Davy joins the Bureau Vallée project and takes the helm of Louis Burton’s former IMOCA for a season at the heart of offshore racing.
