What has been said...

We are very proud that the Éoliennes en Mer des Îles d'Yeu et de Noirmoutier company, which is setting up a wind farm off the coast of Vendée, has once again offered their support to the Vendée Globe."

Paolo Cairo, Project Manager for Éoliennes en Mer Services: "After the incredible human adventure in the 2016 edition, we are proud to be involved in this ninth Vendée Globe and share the values linked to the sea and wind, while taking up human, technological and logistical challenges. Challenges which are similar to those we face in developing the wind farm at sea off the islands of Yeu and Noirmoutier."
