Editorial / The family spirit of nautical professionals

If the daily work and professional life are sometimes those of a more or less bitter competition, the relations between actors of the nautical industry leave room for respect and friendship, as we can see in the difficult moments.

A family spirit

Last week, we were sorry to publish an article about the untimely death of Philippe Sabran, a key figure at Accastillage Diffusion just a few months after his retirement. Your interest in the article and the many comments have not failed to highlight the solidarity of the yachting industry. While we can imagine that relations between a power plant buyer and an equipment manufacturer must sometimes be tense, with high stakes on both sides, the respect shown by the reactions of all marine equipment manufacturers shows that human relations can be kept calm.

The passion of a lifetime

Beyond this sad example, our nautical industry, made up of sailing and motoring enthusiasts, is building lifelong careers. While some change flags more often than others, the men and women remain, building long-term relationships. It's this reciprocal knowledge that inspires respect, and should enable us all to steer yachting in the right direction.

At our humble level, we're delighted to serve as a conduit for stories and information to build this inter-knowledge and enable us to sail better and better together.
