Beijaflore Sailing - Beijaflore Group

Because we resolutely share the values of sailing, for the pas decade we have supported promising young crews in their sports projects. Such as our employees, our young sailors have a trajectory to build.

After first supporting students team in “la Course Croisière EDHEC”. Beijaflore has gone with young professionals: – a team in Longtze in 2013 & 2014. Deux projects in Diam 24 circuit ; one in 2015 managed by Nicolas Bérenger followed by another one managed by Pierre Mas between 2017 to 2019. Finally, Beijaflore confirmed its commitment to sailing by accompanying William Mathelin Moreaux on the Route du Rhum 2018 in class40. Joined by Marc Guillemot on Transat Jacques Vabre the year after.

Why sailing?

Because there is team spirit and performance research that corresponds with our values: organisation, control, agility, technology and ambition … these are also the keys to our daily success.

Why have sponsored young teams. Is this a strategic choice?

We hire about 350 people a year, many of them graduates. We could have chosen an older and more experienced team, which may have been less risky, but setting up a young crew is perfectly aligned with Beijaflore’s spirit. Back in the day, seniors did not always trust the young people we were. Since we created Beijaflore, we have been committed to advancing young people and helping them build their careers: some are now part of the management of the company. In this sailing project, we find the firm’s “DNA”. These young people have talent, potential, and a career to build. It’s up to us to give them a leg up.

This is a corporate project. Why ?

We want the teams to come together through Beijaflore Sailing, connecting and joining in this different, innovative project. We are working on optimising our brand, in order to build together the vision, mission and function of tomorrow’s Beijaflore. All employees are invested and involved in this process; we are planning to grow over the next few years in the same way as the crew. The parallel between the two projects seems relevant to me.

In 2017, Beijaflore Sailing took on a 3-year young crew, just 26 years old, to help them achieve their ambition and ultimately win the “Sailing Tour de France”. Constantly improving all along the 3 years, the team finally won the TourVoile in 2019, after a 3rd place in 2017 and a 2nd place in 2018. They also won the France Champions’ title in Diam24 in 2018 & 2019.

In 2018, Beijaflore confirmed its commitment to sailing by accompanying, along side the “Sailing Tour de France”, the youngest skipper of the Route du Rhum in class40. Arriving in 16th place, William Mathelin Moreaux was joined by Marc Guillemot to participate at the Transat Jacques Vabre. After a promising start, William got hurt and th boat has to stop the race.
