Neo Sailing Technologies (NST), founded in 2007 as Lalou Multi and based in Le Verdon-sur-Mer, France, specializes in the design, prototyping, and manufacturing of high-performance composite structures for nautical, aeronautical, and technological applications.
Through its NST Lab division, the company pioneers sustainable innovations, including the use of recyclable thermoplastic resins like Arkema's Elium®—notably building the world's first boat with this material, the Marara NST 6.50 monohull. NST focuses on eco-designed processes, composite recycling, and low-emission manufacturing to minimize the maritime industry's environmental impact.
In offshore racing via NST Racing, NST has achieved successes such as wins in the Transat Jacques Vabre (2017, 2023) and Pro Sailing Tour (2023), while integrating sustainable practices. Partnerships with Arkema since 2013 support advancements in recyclable composites, as seen in projects like the Zephir Project's fully recyclable speed board prototype unveiled at JEC World 2026.
Also known as Lalou Multi.
Eco-designed speed board uses recyclable liquid thermoplastic resin with recycled carbon fiber and matching foam, delivering thermoset-like performance, precision and full chemical recyclability.
