St Herblain, France - B&G®, the global leader in the design and manufacture of world-class sailing electronics, is pleased to announce their support for the AHOY project. At the centre of the project are four friends, Alexandre, Thibaud, Romain and Jérémy, who for the last year have been preparing for a tour of the Atlantic. Their mission carries a strong message "life is full of hope”, cystic fibrosis is not the end, you cannot stop doing projects and believing in your dreams. B&G will fully equip the boat, replacing all electronic equipment on board.
This sailing tour of the Atlantic (11,000 nautical miles, 365 days, 15 countries) follows the European tour in an R6 (11,000 kilometers by car, 23 days and 19 countries) that Alexandre, with Cystic Fibrosis and his friend Romain made in 2014 to raise awareness about the fight against Cystic Fibrosis. The team see this second project as an opportunity to promote a new message, endorsing organ donation, which Alexander was able to benefit from in 2017, during his lung transplant.
