Barton Marine, manufacturer of sail control and deck hardware for cruising and performance cruising yachts, has launched a French language edition of its award winning, interactive website,www.bartonmarine.com

The French website features the entire Barton product range with full technical details and product descriptions. The search facility is further reinforced with an advanced search engine which makes finding any Barton product extremely easy to find.

The Barton web development team worked closely with Carine Equeter, recently appointed to expand Barton sales in France, to ensure the site was complementary for the demanding French sailing market in both usage and language.

David Coleman, Managing Director and owner of Barton Marine commented, “There is a huge sailing community in France that is extremely important to us and it is imperative that they have access to the most up to date information and product news from Barton. Our customer base in France is one of our fastest growth areas so we felt it was vital to ensure that the French sailing community is given complete access to our award winning website.

We have successfully collaborated with the Navimo group, the distributor for Barton products in France for over 40 years. We are pleased to continue to work with them and this development is part of our future growth strategy in this market.”

Headquartered in the UK, Barton Marine has 60 years’ experience in the manufacture of deck gear and sail controls for cruising and performance cruising yachts up to 16m (52ft). The company is globally recognised for its innovative design and high quality manufacture of state-of-the-art equipment.
