Pen Duick, organiser of ocean races
Their know-how is well known and widely acknowledged. A multi-skilled lively team with their mind more than ever turned towards the sea…
Since its creation, Pen Duick has left its wake in many different areas of the maritime world. With the arrival of the Télégramme Group as a new shareholder, the company is now growing quickly pursuing its adventure on the oceans...
A name that is associated with a legend
Eric Tabarly and Gérard Petipas, thanks to their joint experiences, which are well known throughout the sailing world, founded Pen Duick SA in 1973. The initial vocation of the business was to manage Eric’s famous boats, then from 1985 when Pierre Bojic joined them, to participate in the development of ocean races through their creation or organisation.
30 years of experience
As time has gone by, Pen Duick has become an expert showing off its know-how in the organisation of the greatest races, from a sporting, political and economic point of view, such as: Lorient-Bermuda-Lorient, The Twostar, The Europe 1 Star, The Europe Race, the Mondial Assistance challenge, the Transat Jacques Vabre …
A wide range of skills
Specialised in ocean races, in permanent contact with clubs and official bodies, but also with skippers, owners and the media, Pen Duick is today the ideal representative for its partners.
From the conception to the execution of events via the negotiation of partnerships, logistics, public and press relations, Pen Duick also offers advice in terms of communications to ensure that the greatest races are perfectly organised and go without hitch.
At the same time, the company has also become involved in the development of the brand names Pen Duick and Eric Tabarly, which today employ around twenty staff in various sectors: textiles, china, clocks and watches, decoration…
Leading role in the organisation of ocean races
In 2004, Le Télégramme, which had already been very active in the maritime world, decided to go a step further by taking over the Promovoile and Match Racing companies. Pen Duick thus took over some major events with the Route du Rhum and the Transat AG2R and is today the leader in the organisation of offshore races.
