Packed with more yachts than ever before, along with a guide to the world's most stunning cruising grounds, the CNI Charter Collection 2010 is the ultimate guide to the best that yachting has to offer. For your personal copy, please contact your CNI broker. WORLD CHANGING I nspired by the success of our Carbon Neutral efforts, CNI has been looking for another project to support a more environmentally friendly future - particularly with regard to climate and marine preservation. We were therefore delighted when the 4myPlanet team led by Alexia Barrier, a 30- year old racing sailor, and Lionel Péan, a veteran of the racing circuit, recognised our current initiatives and approached us to partner them in the development of their project. Alexia Barrier's goal to sail and race around the world single-handedly, collect essential scientific data to help understand and preserve the oceans, and get everyone to take part not only ticks all the boxes of what CNI hopes to achieve, it also has the potential to unite the whole yachting community. It is an initiative that will certainly appeal to yacht owners who have already suggested to us that they are keen to participate at various levels. Barrier, her team and their early supporters, including HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco ( pictured below, with Alexia Barrier in the centre and Bernard d'Alessandri of Yacht Club de Monaco to her right) have huge vision, commitment and passion for the project, and CNI is delighted to be on board. www. 4myplanet. eu
