Your colours, stitched to last.

A patch for every club, every event and every summer on the water.

Club patches

Your burgee or club crest as an embroidered patch for members, race teams and club kit.

Regatta patches

A new design for each edition, for competitors to collect or to include in the entry pack.

Sailing school and camp patches

A reward for finishing a course or a summer camp, something young sailors keep on their bags for years.

Regatta patches we could make.

Concept designs for some of Europe's best-known dinghy regattas, to show what your event's patch could look like.

A patch for every club, regatta and summer.

Every patch is a memory you can wear: the club you race with, the regatta you finished, the camp where you first took the helm.

  • Collect them

    Pick up a patch at every regatta and club you sail at, and build a record of your seasons.

  • Kit and dry bags

    The bag that goes to every event is the natural place to show where you've been.

  • Club hoodies and fleeces

    Add the club crest to members' and race team kit for the shore and the boat park.

  • Caps and crew kit

    Put a patch on crew caps or volunteer kit so the team looks like a team.

  • Swap with other sailors

    Trade patches with sailors from other clubs at events and regattas.

From idea to patch in four steps.

  1. Send your idea

    Share your logo, burgee or a rough sketch, plus the quantity you have in mind.

  2. Review the design

    We prepare a digital design and a quote for you to review. Changes are welcome.

  3. Approve and order

    Choose your size and backing. Small runs are welcome.

  4. Receive your patches

    Production takes a few weeks, then the patches are delivered to your club.

Every patch helps fund a Mini Transat campaign.

My name is Maximilien Japy.

I was born in 2004 and grew up in Ireland, where the water was never far away.

My first memories of sailing are from family holidays with my father. From there I attended Les Glénans, the renowned French sailing school, and by 15 I was sailing an RS700 on Galway Bay every chance I got away from boarding school. My first job was teaching others to sail, and I spent two years as an instructor. Today I sail a 49er with my brother.

Through all of it, one dream has never changed: to sail solo across an ocean, and one day around the world. The Mini Transat 2029 is where that begins.

I’m funding the first part of my campaign the way I know best, by building something. Alongside my business degree at ESSEC in Paris, I’ve launched this project making custom embroidered patches for sailing clubs, regattas and camps, and every order goes toward the boat. My goal is to buy a Mini by September 2027 and start training.
