On Saturday, February 4, 2012, at 11 a.m., Mr. Eric Ciotti, President of the General Council of the Alpes-Maritimes, will welcome Mr. Jean-Pierre Dick, who was elected Sailor of the Year 2011. Jean-Pierre Dick is a skipper with an exceptional track record: three Transat Jacques Vabre victories, two Barcelona World Race wins, and a World Imoca Championship title…
Since 2005, as part of its sports policy under the Sailing Plan and sea program, the General Council has committed to his side and supports this outstanding ambassador of the Alpes-Maritimes across the globe’s seas.
Thanks to this partnership, many students from middle schools and elementary schools in the department have been able to discover the fascinating world of Jean-Pierre Dick, which combines environmental preservation and nautical competition.
