Sylvain has taken part in six America’s Cup campaigns, and is still very active in the racing scene in North America and Europe. Sylvain is also the owner of the UK Sailmakers San Fransisco Loft.

Sylvain’s engaging story brings to light how the top-level of sailing evolved thanks to the Cup from 1987 to 2013, and how many of the skills used in sailmaking also changed along the way.
