Sailing Sponsorship

It was in June 2005 that Bel made the decision to enter the world of corporate sponsorship by supporting skipper Kito de Pavant for a series of single-handed ocean races. It’s an initiative that has proved enormously successful, both inside and outside the company, and has encouraged the Group to take the partnership to a new level.

The Bel adventure continues

Bel has committed a further four years’ support to the skipper and begun work on building a completely new Open 60 (18.6 m) boat. It’s with this new boat that Kito de Pavant will compete in the world’s most challenging single-handed event: the Vendée Globe.
