ALL4ONE RACING TEAM BACK ON THE EXTREME SAILING SERIES
Paris, 09/24/13 – After having taking part for the first time to the Extreme Sailing Series in 2011 in
Singapore, ALL4ONE Racing Team is back on the circuit this year, where the team will take the start of
the Nice Act from the 3rd till the 6
th
of October 2013, under the colors of « the first club by
ALL4ONE ».
With Jean-Christophe Mourniac (Skipper/Helmsman) leading the team, and with whom Stephane Kandler
already chose to work two years ago, the team will be formed of French multihull specialists: Stephane
Christidis will be the Mainsail Traveller, Arnaud Jarlegan will trim the headsails, Julien Cressant will be the
bowman and Romain Petit will call tactics.
Stephane Christidis and Julien Cressant will also have the advantage of being locals, since Nice is their
hometown, and that they know really well the race course of the “Bay of Angels”.
Stephane Kandler, ALL4ONE Racing Team’s CEO: “I am very excited to come back to the Extreme
Sailing Series after our first Act in Singapore in 2011. The Series is one of the top professional sailing
circuits in the world and it offers a true return on investment to our sponsors. The multihull will be
increasely more prominent in regattas throughout and one example is the America's Cup. A team such as
ALL4ONE must therefore participate in this event, especially considering the great French talent in this
type of boats. As it has been the case in previous sailing events where we have successfully participated,
such as the America’s Cup, the Louis Vuitton Trophy and the Audi MedCup, with prestigious sponsors
–more-
2. (Areva, Audi, Soitec, Geodis, Canal+ or adidas), I put into practice methods inspired in the corporate
world to be able to maximize the return for our partners and to improve the sporting performance
element.”
Jean-Christophe Mourniac, Skipper: "The Extreme Sailing Series are a very interesting circuit where
the sporting level is extremely high and where very well known teams participate. Everyone races on the
same boat: the Extreme 40, a very fast multihull. We are lucky enough to be able to sail close to the
public and do more than 30 races in each Act. The concept is magical, the organization is highly
professional, and so the result is an exceptional circuit.
This will be the second time we participate in the Extreme Sailing Series with Stephane Kandler. The
common goal is to perform as best as we can in Nice with the view of entering a boat for the entire 2014
season.”
Two sponsors will support the first club by ALL4ONE for this act: the first club and ID-PROM:
Denis Huré, the first club CEO, Title partner:
“The Extreme Sailing Series is changing the way sailing is
seen in the same way the first club is changing the way
companies reward their clients around the world. We are very
happy "the first club: reward the world" boat will be taking part
to this competition in Nice.
Sailing is as much about these unbelievable machines than
the people riding them and at "the first club" our team always
aims to become first!”
Laurent Terebus, ID-PROM CEO, Official Sponsor:
“As a real estate company, ID PROM carries a dynamic image,
modern and completely different from the usual professionals
of our business field. It seems to us that Sailing is the best
compromise to showcase the values bound to sustainable
development, esthetism, fluidity, competitiveness, and
Stephane Kandler, who we’ve been following since its
challenge in the America’s Cup, gives us the opportunity to
communicate on our vision of our business in a different way,
and at the international level, by welcoming us on board for his
new challenge in Nice.”
the first club by ALL4ONE Crew:
Jean-Christophe Mourniac, Skipper/Helmsman, joined the Tornado French Team with his brother
Philippe when he was 20; they became Tornado World runner-up in 1995 and in 2000, and they also
were the substitutes for the Olympics in Atlanta (1996) and in Sydney (2000). Jean-Christophe started to
sail in Formula 18 from there, and finished three times World runner-up (2000, 2001 and 2002). He also
sailed in multihull 60 with Alain Gautier, Michel Desjoyeaux and Loick Peyron, in Extreme 40 and in D35
