Eclisse France

Eclisse France, a manufacturer specializing in high-quality interior doors, has renewed sailing sports sponsorship for the second consecutive year. After Martin Le Pape, Cécile Laguette, female skipper, will wear the colors of the Italian brand, whose French subsidiary is located in Quimper (29), throughout its 2017 season in Figaro Bénéteau.

Common values ​​between Cécile Laguette and Eclisse France

Cécile Laguette has been passionate about the sea since a very young age : studies, work, dreams and travels are all linked to sailing!

A diligent and determined young woman, after ten years spent combining her passion for the open sea with her profile as a naval architecture engineer, she decided in 2016 to race her first season on the demanding FigaroBénéteau circuit.

She trains in Port-la-Forêt (29) with the Finistère Offshore Racing Center with the aim of participating in the legendary race, La Solitaire Urgo-Le Figaro. In 2017, with over 21,000 miles offshore, the sailor successfully brought Eclisse France on board for the entire season in a sport where few women sail.

Cécile Laguette will be keen to have a great season at the helm of her Figaro Bénéteau Eclisse, culminating in a second participation in La Solitaire Urgo-Le Figaro.

"Her enthusiasm and perseverance reflect the guiding principle she has set for herself. Cécile Laguette has her head on her shoulders and is doing everything she can to achieve her goal; we simply want to help her achieve it, " explain Laurence Renévot, President, and Christian Renévot, Managing Director of Eclisse France.

Eclisse France will be present at most of the skipper's departures and arrivals to welcome and encourage her as she deserves. It's much more than a sponsorship; it's a true human adventure for the professional athlete and Eclisse France. The goal? For her to feel supported every step of the way.

“After a wonderful first experience alongside Martin Le Pape, Cécile’s project won us over. Undecided about whether or not to participate in this new 2017 season on the Urgo-Figaro circuit, it was Cécile’s enthusiasm, perseverance, and determination that convinced us. We are therefore delighted to be able to embark with Cécile and are certain to experience another superb human adventure,” continued Laurence and Christian Renévot.

Thus, Cécile Laguette will sail under the Eclisse banner throughout the season. As with Martin Le Pape, the entire Eclisse France team will be able to follow her races. This is a significant event for Eclisse France, both internally and externally.

Sailing, a sport with positive values

Sailing is a sport with very positive values: high standards, innovation, pushing boundaries, performance, and respect. Eclisse France embraces these values, which also embody the entrepreneurial spirit. That's why, for the past two years, the subsidiary of the eponymous Italian group has been involved in sports sponsorship. Furthermore, being located at the tip of Finistère (29), the company has a strong affinity for this sport.

Sponsorship serves a dual purpose for Eclisse: internally, to unite and support a shared project among its 27 employees, and externally, to raise its profile in a new way. Indeed, the media presence and the various cities visited allow them to reach clients and prospects throughout France who share their values.

“The values ​​of this sport are those of the company and the Eclisse France team. We have even planned for employees to sail with the skipper, in groups, at the end of the season. What better way to convey this message than to choose a sport that aligns with our values ​​and is represented by a passionate and ambitious young woman? Offshore racing requires technical knowledge, patience, and above all, perseverance; Eclisse will be well represented , ” conclude Laurence and Christian Renévot.
