Cédric Chauvaud, nicknamed Black Dog, sailed all the seas while working as a master rigger for the most famous ocean race navigators. He first used his rigging talent and knowledge for the purposes of art at the Calvi Wind festival (Corsica France) in 1997 by creating a whale structure nets. The piece was highly admired by the goers.
Cédric's rigging knowledge combined with his experience in working with the "Radeau des Cîmes" scientific expeditions on the biodiversity of forests led to the creation of the first "Parcabout" in 2008.
