LibertyKite: a traction kite for leisure boats, with a single wing or with a launch system. Above all for the safety or the pleasure of sailing with a kite. Intended for leisure boating, small-scale fishing and offshore racing.

A kite to tow your boat

Created by the famous skipper Yves Parlier, the LibertyKite® is a range of self-stable kites from 10 to 80m² designed to pull boats from 4 to 24 meters.

  • Security at sea

    In case of damage (dismasting or engine failure), the LibertyKite allows you to reach the harbor thanks to the wind force. Its orange color allows you to be perfectly visible in the distance.

The expertise of sailor for sailors

“When you are alone on board, you have to make it very simple to set, pilot, and bring back your sail”
Yves Parlier, skipper and marine engineer

 

The idea of the LibertyKite emerged during Yves Parlier’s 3rd Vendée Globe. After dismasting off the Kerguelen Islands, the bay of Stewart Island welcomed him for two weeks of repairs. Once his mast was repaired, he resumed the race and arrived after 126 days, 23 hours and 16 minutes of sailing, in 13th position in the ranking.

Yves, with his training as an engineer in composite materials, imagined a kite that was easy to use and perfectly suited to pulling boats in case of damage.
