Marinepool Pacific Ocean Top – As Worn By Kito de Pavant

Marinepool Offshore Jacket ant Salopette

Marinepool is one of the long standing supporters of famous French sailor Kito de Pavant who will wear the German company’s technical clothing during the Transat Jacques Vabre.

Over 30 crews are contesting this biennial, two-handed race that has became one of the biggest offshore yacht races.

On board an IMOCA Open 60 Monohull the Marinepool clothed sailors will launch their assault on an express transatlantic race towards Puerto Limon in Costa Rica.

True to its sporting, human and ecofriendly values, the Transat Jacques Vabre is celebrating its 10th anniversary. When it began in 1993, it was a solo yacht race that headed for Columbia, following the historical route of  the coffee trade.

Kito de Pavant, well-versed in sailing on board a monohull, distinguished himself as a winner of the Solitaire du Figaro 2002 and was close to winning the last Transat Jacques Vabre on board Groupe Bel with a second place.

The German clothing producer Marinepool is pleased to take part in this transatlantic adventure and renew its support to the Groupe Bel sailing project.

Partners since 2010 with a view towards the upcoming Vendée Globe, Marinepool and Kito de Pavant have combined their expertise and knowledge to develop a range of technical clothing resulting in the Pacific Ocean line, setting new standards for offshore racing suits.

The light weight and waterproof clothing, comfortable over a broad range of conditions, has been tested to the extreme in the Barcelona World Race and endless training sessions. It undoubtedly plays a key role in the performance of Kito and his partner in the Transat Jacques Vabre. It also provides the customer with the guarantee of high quality products tested by those who evolve in the demanding environment of offshore racing.
