Nicolas Lunven About SEA.AI:
As Nicolas Lunven, skipper of the IMOCA HOLCIM-PRB says: “I think SEA.AI is a great tool. I would say this is a tool for the future. We need to use it more and more. It was two years ago during the Transat Jacques Vabre with Sam Davies, Initiatives Cœur with the help of SEA.AI, we were able to avoid a collision which with a very small fishing boat along the African coast.”
Alan Roura, skipper of the IMOCA Hublot adds: “I have used SEA.AI for two years. It was on my boat when I bought it from Alex Thompson. We had a really good experience with it on the Guyader Bermudes 1000 race miles at the beginning of the year: We were downwind, our AIS was not really working, and it started beeping 30m away from a big fishing boat. We just had time to change course and passed about ten meters away from it. If it hadn’t been on, we would have crashed into it. So, it works…”
