To launch the fourth season of Hoisting the Sail, we are delighted to welcome back Grain de Sail, the pioneer in modern, wind powered ocean shipping operating sailing cargoes since 2020. Stefan Gallard, marketing director is joined by Jacques Barreau, CEO and co-founder.
In our first discussion with Stefan in 2021, he detailed the inception and early stage development of Grain de Sail, its unique business model: a shipowning company with a maritime business but also a land-based business with manufacturing plants for the production of chocolate and coffee, sold and distributed under the Grain de Sail brand.
Please join us to learn more about Grain de Sail 2, the 51 meter, 350 tons schooner launched in March 2024 and sailing the Atlantic between Saint Malo, New York and Guadeloupe.
In an exclusive interview, Jacques Barreau will reveal details of the next vessel Grain de Sail 3, a 3 masts with a capacity of 200 EVP, a breakthrough in the wind propulsion business.
