From ocean racing to yachting

Since its creation in 2017 by Matthieu Robert and David Cesari, Madintec has capitalized on its experience at the highest level of nautical competition, notably during the America's Cup, to position itself as a key player in technological innovation. The challenges of major regattas have enabled our design office to acquire unrivalled expertise in real-wind analysis and steering systems. 

Building on this know-how, Madintec has diversified to address the broader yachting market, offering solutions that combine advanced technology and ease of use. Our vision is to provide every sailor, professional or amateur, with the tools to improve both performance and safety at sea.
