JEEP® PARTENAIRE OFFICIEL DU GRAND PAVOIS LA ROCHELLE
La Rochelle, Charente-Maritime, France 46º08’34″N 01º09'58″W
Entre Jeep® et le monde du nautisme, la passion pour le grand large, synonyme d’évasion et d’aventure, est commune. Il sommeille dans chaque Jeeper une envie de larguer les amarres dès que l’on monte à bord de sa Jeep®.
C’est l’une des raisons qui ont poussé Jeep® France à nouer un partenariat avec le Grand Pavois La Rochelle, classé dans le top 5 des salons nautiques internationaux à flot.
Between Jeep® and the world of sailing, there is a common passion for wide-open spaces, synonymous with escapism and adventure. Each Jeeper harbours a desire to cast off as soon as they climb aboard their Jeep®.

VOILAVION
Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, France 43º15'42″N 5º18'40″E
Voilavion is a new foiling catamaran that is performant but incredibly stable and easy to handle.
An idea of foiling catamaran with a tilting mast came from windsurfing where at high speed surfers tend to lean the sail against the wind enabling it to operate as an airplane wing and have the board take off.
Voilavion is not only about performance and stability but also about fine lines and exceptional design, the best compromise between speed, navigation comfort and pleasure.
