Honorary President :


Dear participants,

It is with great pleasure that I address you as the sponsor of the Armor Cup, this event that brings us together around the passion for sailing and the great outdoors!
Congratulations to each of you, as your participation in this regatta demonstrates your ability to step out of your comfort zone; that is how we progress!
Team spirit, determination, and boldness are the keys to success in sailing, just as in our professional lives. Just like in the business world, each crew member plays a crucial role in ensuring the team's performance.
I wish each and every one of you, participants, volunteers, organizers, and spectators, to enjoy this enriching experience to strengthen your bonds, celebrate team spirit, take a step back to better refocus on what matters, and share unforgettable moments.
Fair winds to all!
