AREVA a partner to the French Sailing Federation for the French match racing team

AREVA was the official sponsor of the French team's boat in the 2003 and 2007 America's Cups. Continuing on in that tradition, AREVA is sponsoring the French Match Racing Team and the Fédération Française de Voile (French sailing federation) from 2008 to 2011.

The team consists of five crews of sailing experts and talent from diverse backgrounds selected by the federation. They will take part in the prestigious World Match Racing Tour, an international circuit featuring top sailors who distinguished themselves during the America’s Cup 2007. The WMRT bestows the world championship title for match racing following ten races at various locations in the world.

The French Team wants to see one of its crews conquer the World Champion title in 2008.

In the Match Racing world, the creation of a national team by a sailing federation is a world first. Everything possible is being done to help the crews achieve the summit of the international competition.
