He ranks among the best sailors in the world, including world champions and Olympic medalists. As helmsman, he is the first Belgian to take part in this circuit.

“The partnership with COREtec Floors was born from a shared passion for sailing and technology,” explains Henri Demesmaeker. “The company is committed to innovating and constantly improving its impermeable floors. This is exactly what we in the sailing world also do to go faster on the water with our boats. Because technology plays a very important role in addition to a great passion for water, wind, adventure and competition.

COREtec Floors recognizes the value of sport in the physical and personal development of young people and is happy to support them with the resources and encouragement they need to grow in their sporting endeavours. The flooring company has already made commitments to several international athletes and sports clubs, including Basketball Club Filou Oostende (Belgium), USTours Rugby (France) and ski jumper Valtteri Holopainen (Finland).

I am extremely proud of my achievements at Foiling Week and grateful for the support of my family, friends and community. my trainer, and of course our partner COREtec Floors,” says Henri. “We are now in full training for the next Grand Pavois challenge in La Rochelle, France, and the season finale in Murcia, Spain, at the Foiling Grand Prix on Mar Menor.
