Swapping sails for saddles

Sixteen passionate members of the yachting industry swapped sails for saddles for an epic charity cycle ride from Biarritz to Antibes. Covering over 800km across France’s stunning southwest to southeast, the team rode in support of cancer research charities.

Our mission

Backed by the yachting community

With every climb, coast and kilometre, we raised vital funds and awareness for a cause that touches so many lives. Backed by the global yachting community, the journey was more than a challenge. It was a show of solidarity and strength in the fight against cancer.
