‘In the frantic pace of the modern world, the ocean is a fleeting haven of peace,’ Benoît Alt
In 2026, Ritschard became one of the sponsors of the Swiss solo sailor, Benoît Alt. His goal for this year is to take part in the SAS (Les Sables-les Açores-Les Sables), a solo, unassisted transoceanic race, aboard a 6.5-metre yacht, the Foiler 716.
Ritschard / Benoît Alt? But why?
* The SEA: an essential element for both organisations.
* Pushing boundaries: just like the Ritschard teams, to meet the needs of all our customers.
* Resilience: facing challenges with strength and determination.
* Recycling: the Foiler 716 was designed and built by Benoît Alt from an old sailing boat.
* Team spirit: even when facing the elements alone, both organisations benefit from the support of a whole team.
* A taste for a challenge!: a constant motivation to innovate and improve.
