Behind the scenes of ocean racing aboard Fabrice Amedeo's IMOCA boat
Onet back on the pontoons!
After the Transat Jacques Vabre 2021, more than 50 employees and their families enjoyed privileged access to Fabrice Amedeo's pontoon and boat, in the heart of the starting village of the Vendée Arctique in Les Sables d'Olonne.
These unique moments of discovery and sharing are a concrete expression of the Onet x Fabrice Amedeo partnership. On the program: a full presentation of theIMOCA, questions about life on board, and onboard sensors.
A real desire to support the sailor and his team, our Onet agents, mobilized for the event to provide cleaning services, wanted to clean Fabrice Amedeo's IMOCA before the start.
How the sensors work and the challenges of the scientific project, explained in the boat's cabin
Accompanied by Fabrice Amedeo's teams, our employees learned about the race's unprecedented route, which will take them around Iceland and close to Greenland, allowing them to observe the effects of global warming in places where scientific expeditions rarely venture. Thanks to its onboard sensors, installed with the support of Onet, the navigator will continue to collect data on microplastics, CO2 levels, water temperature and salinity. This will complement all the samples collected, as well as the first analyses of the Vendée Globe 2020-2021 revealed live during the #OceanCalling conference, on Wednesday March 30 from Onet headquarters.
Our employees in the Ouest-Atlantique region join Fabrice Amedeo in a litter pick to help preserve our oceans.
Following last September's highly successful beach clean-up operation in Marseille's Baie des Catalans, Fabrice Amedeo and his employees decided to renew their commitment to preserving our oceans.
On Saturday June 11, on the Paracou beach in Les Sables d'Olonne, volunteers collected over 12 kilos of garbage in the space of three hours. The entire collection was then sorted and recycled by the partner associations present.
