The association of students, amateurs and professionals gives the Edhec Boat Cup a unique state of mind which I’m very pleased to be associated with for this 42nd edition. Every year, the Edhec Boat Cup helps young people to take a liking to sea, and thus gives rise to vocations so that we can always be more at the starting lines! So let’s meet in April 2010, whether you are a student or representing a company, for the next start of this amazing event!
