Olivier Lafourcade has sailed around the world (almost twice!) on his three successive charter boats for over eleven years.

In 1987 he co-founded CNB (Construction Navale Bordeaux) with Dieter Gust and was a member of the management team for 31 years.
As well as looking after the commercial development of the 'One off' boats, Olivier Lafourcade set up the design office, the nerve centre of the shipyard, to ensure that every detail of the boats was conceptualized and then manufactured with the utmost care.

In 2019, after all these years at the helm of CNB (sixty or so 'one off' yachts, a hundred or so semi-custom yachts built), he has decided to 'hand over the reins' to the younger generation and embark on a new adventure, just as exciting, by making his experience and knowledge of yachting available to owners or future buyers of sailing yachts and motor yachts from 18 to 40 metres.

Olivier Lafourcade is also :
- Officer of the Order of Maritime Merit
- A former Maritime Judicial Expert at the High Court of Bordeaux
