 Yachtswoman Ellen MacArthur is renowned for her ambition, professionalism and determination to succeed.
Her story is not just about sailing, rather one of human endeavor! In less than a decade she has made a whole series of dreams come true…
Ellen's way of approaching life - her innovative thinking and the challenges she seeks for herself - matches indeed the Thrane & Thrane company culture of not letting anything stop you in making your innermost dreams come true.
At Thrane & Thrane we are proud to support Ellen in making her dreams come true by being a Performance Partner!
The Performance Partner agreement comprised sattelite communication equipment, providing Ellen MacArthur with constant online access to weather reports and other internet applications while sailing in the middle of the ocean.
"I chose Capsat® Fleet77 from Thrane & Thrane for my offshore challenges. It wass light, compact, rugged and gave me the chance to send pictures LIVE from the middle of the ocean."
On Ellen's solo races the satellite communication equipment from Thrane & Thrane took on another dimension. When she was warned out by fatigue, hunger and bad weather, she was spurred on by the messages she received on her email.
"We're proud of you. We're guilty that we haven't put half the effort into our lives that you put into everything you do," one said. Her response is: "When you're out there in the freezing cold and you're being tossed around and you don't seem to be achieving what you want to achieve, a message like that comes through and just takes you away from it. How could you possibly give up?" |
