Garmin® electronics selected by Beyou Racing Team and its IMOCA CHARAL

Garmin International announces its technical support of skipper Jérémie Beyou and the Beyou Racing team.

After more than 20 years of regattas, Jérémie Beyou has written his name on the honour roll of the biggest French competitions. A seasoned and passionate sailor, alone or as a duo, the Breton skipper always pushes his limits to take them further. This year, it is on board the IMOCA 60 CHARAL, designed to win the next Vendée Globe 2020, that the Beyou Racing Team will cross the line to try and win the Transat Jacques Vabre.

“We will take the start reassured at Le Havre and keeping in mind our last two victories during the Rolex Fastnet Race and the Défi Azimut,” says Jérémie.

A must-do for the IMOCA Globe Series calendar and an important step before the Vendée Globe 2020, the Transat Jacques Vabre will allow Jérémie and CHARAL to confront real-life conditions with some thirty boats and their skippers, always accompanied by the latest Garmin marine technologies on board.

Jérémie adds: “Having discovered the quatix® during my Volvo Ocean race, I was seduced by its easy-to-use technology and its connectivity. Since then, I wear it during regattas but also on land to keep track during my physical preparation. My Garmin stays with me everywhere I go. Team Beyou Racing has been using Garmin marine products for many years. We have already equipped our RIB fleet, so I am very familiar with Garmin advantages and constant technological progress.”
