Corentin de Chatelperron, born in Vannes in 1983, is a French engineer, adventurist and manager of the "Gold of Bengal" project. == Career == After general engineering studies of Arts & Métiers (ICAM) he worked 3 years in the ecotourism and aeolian sector. Early in 2009 he went to Bangladesh to work in a modern shipyard producing fiberglass composite boats, the Taratari shipyard.〔http://tendancebleue.com/culture-de-la-mer/la-transmission-des-savoirs-dans-la-construction-navale-tara-tari-un-chantier-naval-moderne-pour-le-bangladesh.html〕 Rapidly he thought of replacing the fibreglass (which is a polluting, expensive and imported material) with jute fiber, a natural local resource. So as to show the potential of the jute composite and to find partners, he built the sailboat ''Tara Tari'' 〔http://www.bretagne-info-nautisme.fr/Corentin-de-Chatelperron-Tara-Tari.html?lang=fr〕(40% jute fiber, 60% fiberglass) and decided to come back to France on board. This six-month journey at sea, later called the "Tara Tari adventure"〔http://www.liberation.fr/vous/2011/11/22/a-fond-le-rafiot_776333〕 was a big success. With several partners, Corentin de Chatelperron launched "Gold of Bengal",〔http://www.lepoint.fr/monde/au-bangladesh-le-reve-de-jeunes-ingenieurs-francais-27-12-2012-1606399_24.php〕 a research project on the uses of jute fibre as a composite reinforcement. For 3 years, an eight-person team has been developing this innovation for Bangladesh (research, prototyping, technology transfer). This research project gave birth, in March 2013, to a second boat, "Gold of Bengal" 〔http://lemonde.annoncesdunautisme.com/littoral-environnement/bio-composites-environnement-gold-of-bengal-un-voilier-100-jute-pour-le-bangladesh/keyword_id=28004/〕 made entirely in Bangladesh with 100% jute composite. Corentin de Chatelperron is a member of the Society of French Explorer and a scientific consultant for the French Sustainable School of Design. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Corentin de Chatelperron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
