Clipper Ventures and Global Medical Emergency Support Partner Launch New Business

Praxes

 

Clipper Ventures Plc and its Global Medical Emergency Support Partner, PRAXES Medical Group, are launching a new joint venture which arose from their partnership in the last edition of the Clipper Race.

The new service ClipperTelemed+™ will provide fast emergency and general medical support from its doctors to those on yachts, superyachts and commercial ships around the world. Custom medical kits and equipment will also be marketed as part of a complete medical support service.

 

The joint venture arose out of PRAXES’s highly successful fleet sponsorship in the Clipper 2013-14 Round the World Yacht Race. That partnership has led to a significant increase in exposure for the Canadian company’s global medical services.

 

Clipper Race Founder and Chairman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first man to sail solo, nonstop, around the world in 1968/9, said: “We are pleased to launch this new joint venture. It is a result of our success as partners in the last edition of the race. 

 “Top quality medical advice will now be available for other ships 24/7, through the use of modern technology. This will give peace of mind for the company or ship owner, crew, family and guests. “ClipperTelemed+™ doctors have specific telemedicine training and are highly experienced in providing remote advice at sea. We want to offer the same support service that we use to other mariners.”

 

As part of the new service ClipperTelemed+™ is also looking for a Business Development Manager to develop the market for medical support and medical kits in the yachting and commercial shipping markets.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
