Adversaries in previous regattas, our friendship has grown over the years, leading us to sail together on Solenn. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_7\"><span class=\"color_15\">Beyond this passion, we share common values that make us a powerful team with almost no limits! During our regattas and maritime expeditions, we have become aware of the degradation of the ocean and the need to take action. We&#8217;re clear about the fact that our playground is fragile, and we want to protect it and act to preserve the ocean and marine biodiversity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_7\"><span class=\"color_15\">For us, sailing is a magical sport, with its share of history and tradition, but above all because of the eco-responsible solution it represents. The seas and oceans are in danger, the air we breathe is polluted, and human beings need to reinvent the way they travel to limit environmental impact. Beyond the human challenge, sport is also a technological workshop. The progress made in sailing will benefit the search for innovative solutions for maritime transport. Today, we are all involved in protecting our planet, and every gesture counts, so we wanted to race in the name of an environmental cause. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Pure Ocean Foundation was an obvious choice. Indeed, we share the same passion for the ocean, the protection of the environment and in particular the marine environment. As a result, the boat&#8217;s racing name will be Solenn for Pure Ocean for the two 2020\/2021 seasons!<\/p>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div style='height:30px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"avia_codeblock_section  avia_code_block_0\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_codeblock '  itemprop=\"text\" > [avia_codeblock_placeholder uid=\"0\"] <\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div style='height:20px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div class='av-countdown-timer  av-align-center av-default-style '  data-year=' 2021' data-month='7' data-day=' 08 ' data-hour='9' data-minute='0' data-interval='60000' data-maximum='4' ><span class='av-countdown-timer-inner'><span class='av-countdown-cell av-countdown-days'><span class='av-countdown-cell-inner'><span class='av-countdown-time ' data-upate-width='days' style=''>0<\/span><span class='av-countdown-time-label ' data-label='Day' data-label-multi='Days'>Days<\/span><\/span><\/span><span class='av-countdown-cell av-countdown-hours'><span class='av-countdown-cell-inner'><span class='av-countdown-time ' data-upate-width='hours' style=''>0<\/span><span class='av-countdown-time-label ' data-label='Hour' data-label-multi='Hours'>Hours<\/span><\/span><\/span><span class='av-countdown-cell av-countdown-minutes'><span class='av-countdown-cell-inner'><span class='av-countdown-time ' data-upate-width='minutes' style=''>0<\/span><span class='av-countdown-time-label ' data-label='Minute' data-label-multi='Minutes'>Minutes<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px;

Cleaning up the seabed and collecting information on the state of biodiversity are naturally an integral part of the association&#8217;s civic activities.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the Calanques Propres 2020 operation, Watch the Sea was involved from October 17 to 19 as an active player in raising awareness and bringing about change, as well as raising funds for the Pure Ocean Foundation. <a style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pure-ocean.org\/en\/pure-ocean-challenge\/\">Find out more.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div style='height:50px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><p><div style='height:50px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div style='padding-bottom:10px;' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h2     '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Le d\u00e9fi Pure Ocean &#8211; Route Saint Pierre Lorient <\/h2><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em><strong>A legendary transatlantic race to raise awareness of the ocean&#8217;s fragility <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div style='height:20px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_two_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><p><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 2150 nautical mile transatlantic sail from St Pierre et Miquelon to Lorient? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the crazy idea of beating Eric Tabarly&#8217;s legendary record of 10 days, 1 hour and 31 minutes?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, Jean-Pierre Dick&#8217;s JP 54 and Morgane Poupon&#8217;s Class 40 will be on the starting line in mid-July for the Pure Ocean Challenge &#8211; Route St Pierre Lorient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Sussmann, president and founder of Pure Ocean, will be taking part in the Challenge on The Kid, Jean-Pierre Dick&#8217;s JP54.

On June 22, he set off from Marble Arch, London, to plunge, after 140km and 16h55mn of running, into the waters of the English Channel. 34km of swimming later, he arrived on French soil after braving the cold and currents for 21h51mn. Then, the next day, he got on his bike and cycled 290km to Paris, where he finished his feat 14h37mn later under the Arc de Triomphe. His reason for completing this feat: his participation in the Pure Ocean project, which finances innovations dedicated to protecting the oceans and their biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>An exceptional challenge to launch the Race For Pure Ocean series. Through this sporting challenge, which demands unparalleled endurance and the ability to surpass oneself, Brice wanted to contribute to raising awareness of environmental issues, which today are a threat not only to our oceans, but to the entire ecosystem of our planet. As part of this ecological commitment, Brice&#8217;s team, following him throughout his challenge, picked up any garbage that got in their way. As a lover of the oceans, he also hoped to bring to the attention of the general public the extent of the dangers that threaten them, and to highlight the solutions that exist to protect them, and so decided to take up this challenge in aid of Pure Ocean.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><p><div style='height:50px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div style='padding-bottom:10px;' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h2     '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Le D\u00e9fi de Monte-Cristo by night <\/h2><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Amateur swimmers commit to protecting the oceans by taking part in a night race in the Mediterranean Sea.<\/strong> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div style='height:20px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_three_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To mark the 20th anniversary of the Monte Cristo challenge, Pure Ocean joined forces with Europe&#8217;s largest open-water swimming event. For this second episode of the Race for Pure Ocean, some 40 amateur athletes expressed their support for the environmental cause through this high-level nocturnal sporting performance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>At dusk on June 21, the swimmers set off from the Ch\u00e2teau d&#8217;If, an emblematic monument in the city of Marseille. The participants, all amateur swimmers, put in a unique sporting performance while affirming their commitment to protecting the oceans. Set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea, the maritime jewel of the South of France, this challenge was an opportunity to give visibility to the Pure Ocean project, as well as to raise public awareness of the critical situation of our oceans, and of our planet in the wider sense. The event raised \u20ac20,000 for Pure Ocean, which will be used to fund innovative projects to protect our oceans and their biodiversity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_two_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><div  data-size='no scaling'  data-lightbox_size='large'  data-animation='slide'  data-ids='1306,1613,1614'  data-video_counter='0'  data-autoplay='true'  data-bg_slider='false'  data-slide_height=''  data-handle='av_slideshow'  data-interval='5'  data-class=' '  data-css_id=''  data-scroll_down=''  data-control_layout='av-control-minimal'  data-custom_markup=''  data-perma_caption=''  data-autoplay_stopper=''  data-image_attachment=''  data-min_height='0px'  class='avia-slideshow avia-slideshow-4  av-control-minimal av-default-height-applied avia-slideshow-no scaling av_slideshow   avia-slide-slider '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><ul class='avia-slideshow-inner' style='padding-bottom: 86.505190311419%;'><li  class=' slide-1 ' ><div data-rel='slideshow-4' class='avia-slide-wrap'  ><img src='https:\/\/www.pure-ocean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/DMC-2.jpg' width='578' height='500' title='DMC' alt=''  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"   \/><\/div><\/li><li  class=' slide-2 ' ><div data-rel='slideshow-4' class='avia-slide-wrap'  ><img src='https:\/\/www.pure-ocean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ByLPix_2019_06_21_17614-e1561562762119.jpg' width='1155' height='1000' title='monte cristo' alt=''  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"   \/><\/div><\/li><li  class=' slide-3 ' ><div data-rel='slideshow-4' class='avia-slide-wrap'  ><img src='https:\/\/www.pure-ocean.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ByLPix_2019_06_21_17896-e1561562846167.jpg' width='1155' height='1000' title='DMC race for Pure Ocean' alt=''  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"   \/><\/div><\/li><\/ul><div class='avia-slideshow-arrows avia-slideshow-controls'><a href='#prev' class='prev-slide' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue87c' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'>Previous<\/a><a href='#next' class='next-slide' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue87d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'>Next<\/a><\/div><div class='avia-slideshow-dots avia-slideshow-controls'><a href='#1' class='goto-slide active' >1<\/a><a href='#2' class='goto-slide ' >2<\/a><a href='#3' class='goto-slide ' >3<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1314","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
