"RELIABILITY IS THE KEY
TO SOLO ROUND THE WORLD RACING AND BOWTECH DELIVERS" Speaking
to ALEX THOMSON RACING, whilst they prepare for the blue ribbon Vendée Globe,
departing 9th November 2008, Skipper Alex said:- "I
have used Bowtech cameras in the most extreme of environments and have been
able to capture virtually unseen footage, which provides my sponsors with a
great return for their investment. Reliability is the key to solo round the
world racing and Bowtech delivers." For
the original HUGO BOSS Open 60 class yacht, skipper Alex Thomson chose Bowtech Cameras. Alex
is a major talent in elite international yacht racing. Together with the
world's most fashionable sponsor, Hugo Boss, he is attempting three round the
world races in three years, racing the Open 60 class. These are amongst the
fastest and most high-tech yachts in the world. The
three races comprise of the Solo Velux 5 Oceans in 2006 followed by the
Barcelona World Race 2007 - 2008 in which Alex finished in second
place. He is now preparing for his next race, the infamous Vendée Globe which
starts in Nov 2008. All
the staff at Bowtech Products would like to wish Alex well in this final race
of the trio and thank him for having, in the first instance, chosen Bowtech
AquaVision miniature high resolution colour CCD cameras. See unique
