Excellent news for the participants of The Captains of Industry Sailing Cup 2021: Thailand has confirmed its partnership with The Captains of Industry Sailing Cup.

Participants of the 2019 edition of The Captains of Industry Sailing Cup will remember the prize table for some of the sailors that were able to win one of the competitions. One lucky sailor won a luxurious all-inclusive travel package to Thailand.

This year the Captains are delighted to announce that Thailand has decided to endorse this year’s Zero Emission Edition. Ms Worapa Angkhasirisap, Director of Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Office in Paris, has confirmed that TAT will enrich the prize table with an exclusive trip for 2 persons to Phuket.

Discover Thailand

Thailand offers a range of high-end accommodations, beautiful beaches and nature, and high culture that creates a world class luxury holiday. Island hopping, sailing and golfing are popular activities too.

What you might not know yet: many international regattas have been and still are hosted in Phuket and Samui. Phuket is home to the King’s Cup Regatta, which is the largest regatta in Asia.

Highly rewarding news for our sailors with competitive ambitions: Viessman magnifies The Captains of Industry Sailing Cup prize table with vouchers worth €7.000 in total. This is a great incentive and opportunity for those teams that want to make it to the podium!

Viessman will also install its latest whisper-quiet heat pump Vitocal (outdoor installation) with the new low LWP refrigerant. This heat pump is ideal for use in renovation and new construction, contributes to CO2 reduction and is carbon neutral. It is designed to be coupled with Vitovolt photovoltaic panels, Vitocharge batteries and HEMS (Home Energy Management System), perfectly in line with this year’s Zero Emission Edition of The Captains.

If Olympic athletes deserve a top coach, why would you as top executive not deserve one?

Luc Debruyne, former president GSK Vaccin Global and GRAM Athlete

We have all been able to admire how much physical and especially mental capacity was put to the test during the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Today it is more clear than ever that without that load capacity you will not reach the highest level of your performance, let alone maintain it. This applies not only to Olympic athletes, but also to Corporate athletes, i.e. executives who strive to live by example.

Olympify your capacity

If this triggers you, book a meeting with Mathieu (Founder of GRAM and Olympic physical and mental expert) or with Yannick (Olympic sailor and GRAM Coach) during The Captains of Industry Sailing Cup.

For booking simply send a quick e-mail to bo@gramchallenge.com and you will be contacted to arrange your seat.

The Captains of Industry Sailing Cup proudly announces its partnership with Viessmann, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of efficient, reliable and affordable heating and solar products.

Heating, cooling, ventilating: Viessmann ensures an optimum climate and develops intelligent and sustainable energy systems and refrigeration solutions – for residential buildings, industry, and commerce. As a family business in its fourth generation, the company thinks long-term. Its purpose: to create living spaces for generations to come. All 12.300 members of the Viessmann family in 74 countries follow this purpose.

The 2021 Zero Emission Edition of The Captains aims to set the standard for low impact/footprint sailing events in Europe. As Viessmann shares this vision, the company embraces our ambition and confirms its support for the entire Captains event from 24 to 27 September 2021. Viessmann will not only install their infotruck in the Business Village, our premium partner will also compete with several teams.

More information on Viessmann’s vision and ambition? Check this keynote by CEO Max Viessmann.

In the context of this year’s Zero Emission Edition, The Captains will also take catering and beverages to a higher level in 2021. We are delighted to announce the collaboration with partner Alcoholvrij.be, which means that we can also serve non-alcoholic premium drinks in the Business Village.

Alcoholvrij.be, that’s three young entrepreneurs and Flemish Burgundians who accidentally bumped into a tasty, in Belgium unprecedented and often undervalued product: an alcohol-free sparkling wine. A baby boom in their circle of friends has led the trio to deepen and specialize in the surprisingly rich non-alcoholic market. Well hidden, there are gems in the alcohol-free range. These gems of wine, sparkling wine, cocktails, spirits and beers will surprise and spoil the taste buds of the participants in one of the exclusive regattas during the four days of The Captains of Industry Sailing Cup.

Alcoholvrij.be wants to make tasty, high-quality, alcohol-free top products known and easily available on our local market at all times. Hence the partnership with The Captains of Industry Sailing Cup from 24 to 27 September, in Newport.

After the canceled edition of 2020 and after this soon to be forgotten year, we are back, stronger and more avid than ever. If Poseidon is favorable to us, no fewer than 4 (!) regattas are on the program in September.

• 24 Sep. The Captains of Industry Sailing Cup
• 25 Sep. The Captains of Industry Sailing Cup Classics
• 26 Sep. The Captains of Smart Building Sailing Cup
• 27 Sep. The Captains of Health Sailing Cup

The weekend from 24 to 27 September will take place again in the port of Newport, with the same success formula as the legendary editions from the past. In addition, we are putting extra emphasis on sustainability and low carbon footprint on land and sea this year with the Zero Emission Edition.

Corona proof, of course. All applicable regulations and safety measures are strictly applied. If for any unwanted reason the event cannot take place, there is our money back guarantee.

Join The Captains! This is your chance to quickly forget about 2020, forge links with your business partners, thank your employees and peers, and make new contacts.
