Highfield renews partnership with OC Sport Pen Duick until 2026

Highfield extends its partnership with OC Sport Pen Duick until 2026, now covering the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe, the Transat Paprec and the Tour de Belle-Île. This support will guarantee the safety and logistics of the events, thanks to a fleet of RIBs, and will compensate for the loss of image resulting from the termination of the Vendée Globe contract.

A stronger, more diversified commitment

Since 2018, Highfield has accompanied OC Sport Pen Duick on the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe. With the renewal of the partnership, Highfield extends its support to two new races: the Transat Paprec and the Tour de Belle-Île from 2025. This collaboration provides logistics for nautical events.

Safety first

In 2026, the fleet of 64 Highfield RIBs will be deployed for the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe, guaranteeing the safety of sailors and the management of nautical operations. These RIBs are essential to ensure the smooth running of the races and provide support for the management teams.

Events supported by Highfield

The Transat Paprec and Tour de Belle-Île will also benefit from Highfield's expertise. These races, renowned for their popularity, require meticulous preparation. Highfield's support ensures that both skippers and organizers are well taken care of.

A partnership aligned with Highfield's values

Julien Carussi, co-founder and CEO of Highfield Boats, emphasizes: " We are delighted to renew our partnership for the 2026 edition of the Route du Rhum-Destination Guadeloupe, and to be involved in two other emblematic ocean racing events. We share the sailors' passion for adventure and for surpassing themselves. "

An essential presence for organizers

Joseph Bizard, General Manager of OC Sport, says: " The presence of the Highfield fleet on our events is essential for the sailors and our teams. This partnership confirms a loyal and lasting relationship initiated in 2018 ".
