Axel Gadbin

Axel Gadbin

Axel Gadbin was lucky enough to grow up by the sea in Cherbourg, France and enjoy all it has to offer. He started sailing at the age of six at the Cherbourg Sailing School. Later, he had the chance to sail an old Flusk Poker with his father to take part in local regattas. Today he sails a J/99, which brings a lot of pleasure and performance.

He joined the boating industry in 2008, starting out in boat sales. In 2014, he started his own business to devote himself to the world of sailboats, yachting, blue water cruising and regattas.

He is particularly involved in the J/99 Axe Sail project, and has been working for four years to optimize the sails and fittings on the company's boat. He has seen success in the performance of the Axe Sail-equipped J/99, taking second place in IRC2 and fifth in IRC 2H at the 2023 Rolex Fastent Race. The boat also took first in IRC 2H and IRC Overall at the 2024 Drheam Cup. The results are a testament to the racing talent of the duo, Maxime Mesnil and Hugo Feydit, and the quality of the Axe Sails team's preparation.
