Legris Industries and sailing - a love affair
To be a good sailor you have to look ahead and anticipate, holding on course yet responding quickly to new developments, while ensuring that the crew remains united. In short, you need to meet a full range of technical and human challenges.
Competitive sailing is a sport that embodies values Legris Industries is attached to: the importance of focusing efforts on ambition aims, the determination to constantly outdo past performance, and the continuing search for new ideas to back progress.
Competitive sailing thus holds a mirror up to our business, displaying the values
we stand for.
An active supporter of France's America's Cup challenges from 1992 to 2003, our Group also helped 10 top-class athletes prepare for sailing events at the Beijing Olympics over three years. In 2008, we were official partners for the Tour de France sailing race.
A faithful supporter of competitive sailing, from December 2005 to August 2008 Legris Industries provided backing for 10 members of the French sailing team as they prepared for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Julien Bontemps, one of the ten, won a silver medal in the sailboard category.
