Rhea Marine is primarily the story of a man, Bertrand Danglade. Born in the boat, passionate acquired a solid foundation on the banks of the Clyde in England, the birthplace of the great sailing legend. This is where it permeates aesthetics and refinement, meaning measures and hull shapes while gaining knowledge of wood.
