CDK Technologies builds an extension to its Port-la-Forêt site

Since its creation in 1984, CDK Technologies has continued to develop by notably investing in cutting-edge tools. As such, over recent years, the boatyard has fleshed out its global package considerably and is now able to step up to the plate in the provision of all the high-performance technical parts that make up a race boat. To adapt to this flourishing development and in a bid to provide its teams with the best possible working environment, CDK Technologies sets about extending its Port-la-Forêt site in the spring of 2021. From this Thursday 20 January 2022, the latter will be able to accommodate 50 employees on what is now a substantially larger site.

Transat Jacques Vabre: five podium places for CDK Technologies

For its 15th edition, the Transat Jacques Vabre sailed from Normandy to Martinique for the first time in its history. A truly unique route, it comprised a series of course marks never before used in transatlantic races, including the archipelagos of Trindade and Martim Vaz for the Ultimes and Fernando de Noronha for the Ocean Fiftys and IMOCAS. The result was an event that was as long as it was demanding. The race proved to be both testing and complex but ultimately those boats built at CDK Technologies carried off no fewer than five podium places, evidence that the experience and expertise of the Breton yard doesn’t lie. Quite the contrary. Indeed, the specialist in prototype yacht construction, which has been amassing a string of successes in the offshore racing domain for over 35 years, is continuing to go from strength to strength in the most prestigious events thanks to its unique know-how and the unfailing commitment of all its associates.
