Wrapping up my favorite two weeks of the year, Cannes and St. Tropez regattas.  We had lots of varied sailing conditions and a ton of laughs!  Thanks to all the amazing people who got us around the track and had a blast doing it together on Java and the mighty Halloween. 👊🏽⛵️🥈 by @equipementdevie

Bowman Nat Lemieux with Dave Bieling aboard Music, working the foredeck at the Safe Harbor event — Oyster 885.

Offshore Grey on deck. Thought process
Thought process
Two crew members work the foredeck of Music, an Oyster 885, during the Safe Harbor event in Newport, Rhode Island — both in the Offshore Grey by Équipement De Vie. The image captures the kind of moment sailing shoes are actually built for: a spinnaker hoist mid-maneuver, lines under load, bodyweight shifted forward on a pitching bow, nothing forgiving about the surface underfoot. The Offshore Grey is EdeV's performance deck sneaker in a clean grey colorway, developed for sailors who need serious grip without sacrificing how the shoe looks off the water. Its anti-slip compound outsole is engineered for wet deck conditions — non-marking, low-profile, and confident on carbon, teak, or fiberglass whether the boat is moving or moored. The upper is built to handle spray and sun without stiffening or degrading, keeping the foot secure through the kind of foredeck work visible here: arms braced, weight low, full concentration on the set. Newport has long been one of the most storied sailing venues in the world, and the Safe Harbor event draws serious racing programs from the East Coast circuit and beyond. The Oyster 885 is an offshore bluewater cruiser-racer — the kind of boat that rewards a well-prepared crew and punishes anything that slips. Wearing the right footwear on that foredeck is not an aesthetic choice; it's a practical one. The Offshore Grey earns its place in that context. Designed in the south of France with the competitive Mediterranean sailing circuit in mind, EdeV shoes have found their way onto race boats across the Atlantic — from Porto Cervo to the Solent to Rhode Island Sound. The grey colorway sits cleanly with performance sailing kit, neutral enough to work with any deck palette while retaining the quiet, confident identity that defines the Équipement De Vie line. For sailors looking for performance sailing shoes, deck footwear for offshore racing, or a shoe that moves from the dock to the crew dinner without a change, the Offshore Grey is the answer.

#Velsheda #JClass

📷 @deeabuzdugan_sailing Aboard the J-Class yacht Velsheda, a crew member crouches low on the teak foredeck, coiling a heavy mooring line by hand. The composition is tight and candid — shot at deck level, sunlight raking across varnished mahogany and polished chrome fittings, with a second crew member in a red-and-white regatta bib softening into the background. The palette is classic Riviera: navy technical layers, warm teak, bright brass, and the deep green hull lettered "Velsheda" along the bow. It's a working moment, not a posed one — the kind of unguarded action shot that defines offshore sailing photography.

The footwear in frame reflects what serious deck work demands: a low-profile silhouette, non-marking outsole, and a grip pattern built for wet teak and polished glass-fibre alike. This is the territory Équipement De Vie designs for — anti-slip outsoles, high-grip rubber compounds, and lightweight, breathable construction engineered for traction on a heeling foredeck, whether aboard a J-Class, a TP52, or a modern maxi yacht. The same technical sailing footwear that holds a line at the bow during a Fastnet start moves just as naturally from cockpit to quay, and from marina to city street.

This is the world Équipement De Vie references: America's Cup foredecks, Superyacht crews, the Sydney to Hobart and The Ocean Race, and the quiet competence of professional sailors who trust their gear without thinking about it. Our deck shoes and marine footwear are built on that same principle — premium materials, technical grip, and construction that performs under real offshore conditions, not just on a showroom floor.

Équipement De Vie exists at the intersection of sailing performance and considered design: garments and footwear made for the deck, worn just as well ashore — technical where it matters, refined everywhere else. by @equipementdevie

Equally capable in all conditions, the Lemieux Elite is defined by its distinctive and purposeful design.

Explore Lemieux Elite → equipementdevie.com Edited a memory
There's a particular kind of morning that calls for the Lemieux Elite Black: lines still damp from the night before, the tender rocking against the transom, a crew pulling on boat shoes before the first coffee is even poured. This is Équipement de Vie's go-to deck shoe and sailing shoe, the one that ends up by the companionway of half the boats on the mooring field, from a weekend cruiser slipping out of the harbor to a TP52 loading up for a start sequence off the committee boat. Step onto a wet deck and the anti-slip, high grip sole does its job without announcing itself, holding steady through a tack, a gybe, a quick dash forward to the bow. Water displaces underfoot the way it should on a proper yacht shoe, so a slick foredeck in a squall off the Solent feels no different than dry teak on a flat afternoon. This is the shoe you'll find rail side on a J Class in Newport, tucked under a bench during an America's Cup training day, or kicked off at the swim platform after a long reach down the coast. Black on black with a flash of blue at the heel, it reads as easily walking off the boat into a harborside restaurant as it does gripping a winch handle mid maneuver, which is exactly the point.

Équipement de Vie built this deck shoe for people whose whole life runs through boating and yachting, not just the racing hours, so it moves from foredeck to dinner without a costume change. Regatta week has a rhythm to it, early starts, long days on the rail, evenings that spill into the yacht club bar still smelling faintly of salt, and the Lemieux Elite Black is built to survive all of it, season after season, without losing its grip or its shape. Sailors searching for boat shoes, deck shoes, sailing shoes, or yacht shoes tend to end up here eventually, because there's a difference between a shoe built to look like it belongs on a boat and one that's actually been designed around what happens on one, wet lines, sudden heel, a fast scramble to the mast. Whether the day includes a TP52 fleet race, a casual sail with friends, or nothing more demanding than walking the length of a marina at low tide, this is a shoe that disappears into the background and lets the sailing take over. That's the real test for any piece of sailing gear, whether you stop noticing it's there, and by the second or third outing, most people do. by @equipementdevie

A little more of daily life and what race week looks like with the team! ⛵️

Huge thanks to @themagentaproj & @clubswan for making this possible and giving us the opportunity to sail together as an all female team! 💜

Amazing times both on and off the water in Porto Cervo. Already looking forward to coming back! ;)

(def the last video is the best one 😂)

Pegasus is racing as a GP42 now. New boat, new class, same crew, in Offshore Grey on deck. Cowes Week this week, Solent racing all season, eyes on the 2027 Admiral’s Cup. 

Good company out there too.

📷 Rick Tomlinson Pegasus, a GP42 designed by Felci Yacht Design, digs her bow into the Solent chop mid-tack at Cowes Week, black mainsail and headsail powered up, the Équipement de Vie mark visible on the sail alongside D2 Yacht Services. On the rail, the crew wears the Offshore Grey sailing shoe — dual-layer breathable Leno Weave upper, a super high-grip anti-slip non-marking sole with siping cuts and drainage channels built for a wet, moving deck, and rPET laces made from recycled material.
