POK, full catalogue English

POK, its name is a story... In the nineteeth century, my great-grandfather founded the National Office of meteorology in France. His climate knowledge led him to choose Saint Cast in Brittany for his holidays. There he built a family home next to a large sandy beach. For a young boy, this idyllic location offers only the beach and the sea to pass the time. For my tenth birthday, my father gave me a sailboat. You should know that in Saint Cast, two kinds of sailors face the sea, one of the roughest in the world, with swirling winds, a coastline indented with tidal elevations of 15 meters, and currents that reach 5 knots: fishermen and yachtsmen. Fishermen painted the name on their boat, yachtsmen inscribed the name of their vessel in copper letters: very expensive for a little boy with no income. The Breton (a Celtic language related to Gaelic) dictionary provided me with a three letter name that was economical, sound, vigorous, and ready to face the marine elements: POK. My sailbot, the POK, sailed faithfully, never tipping or sinking. Therefore, when I created my company, giving it this lucky name seemed an appropriate choice for its future. POK!, I forgot to tell you, means “kiss” in Breton. A kiss that brings smiles, joy, and confidence, in those it meets. Bruno GRANDPIERRE Post-script: Visiting our customers everywhere around the globe, I discovered that in Korea, POK means “Good Luck”.
