For the JP54, I planned and executed a yearly commercial sailing schedule for the JP54 and coordinated its operations. The yacht took part in several amateur sailing events under my coordination such as Les Voiles de St. Tropez, le Tour de Belle Ile, the ARMEN race, the ARC Transatlantic and served as a support asset for hospitality excursions. Aside from the JP54 project, I also helped to develop commercial partners for Benoit Marie, Thomas Normand and Jean-Pierre Dick.
