Fairwinds is a sailing shipping company that brings back goods from exotic locations while telling their stories. We transport specialty food products from specific regions of the world, and to vary our destinations and products, Fairwinds uses a “journey” or “edition” system that offers a unique story to tell each time. Using sailboats to transport seasonal regional products is not only more environmentally friendly, but also a unique and exciting way to discover the world! Check them out at fairwinds.fr.
The project is led by Matthieu François (ESTA School / ETI Master's Program), supported by Lionel Rat (Fise Energie / ETI Master's Program) and Clément BOCQUET.

The project was developed by Loïc Gisselaire (ESTA / ETI Master's Program), Rinane Koussa Di Bacha, Soumeya Temmar, Mathilde Latifa (ETI Master's Program), and Mehdi Slimane.
