Patrick Beaufront
Broadcast Pro and Sailor
TV and Movie producer, essentially for the french Canal+ group for over 20 years, I have been involved in many production and broadcasting processes all around Europe and the US: associate producer on "boiling point", head of production on "Stargate", I have been aministratore delegato of the TV channel Telepiu in Milano. I have been associated with the launching of new TV channels in Europe and North Africa.
In the meantime I have been sailing for 30 years in tough seas (Scotland loch Ness, Red Sea, Atlantic crossing), participating in the french championship of J-80 with the ZBH Sailing Team. And I just spent 4 years on my boat in the Caribbean, being certified as a Boat Master.
