In competitive sailing, victory often depends on last-second decisions and seamless teamwork. From catching a sudden wind shift to executing a perfectly timed manoeuvre, communication is critical. That’s why more sailing teams – professional and amateur alike – are relying on marine intercom systems to stay connected in real time.

Leading this wave of innovation is the Charal Sailing Team, one of the most dynamic crews on the IMOCA circuit. Backed by Sena, Charal has embraced advanced intercom technology to sharpen their tactical edge during some of the world’s toughest solo and team ocean races.

Communication When It Matters Most

Offshore racing isn’t just about speed – it’s about endurance, adaptability and flawless coordination. Crews are constantly trimming sails, reading the weather and making rapid decisions. In these high-pressure moments, yelling over crashing waves and howling wind is not only inefficient, but it can put the team at risk.

Sena’s marine intercom systems give sailors a better way. With hands-free, full-duplex audio, crew members can talk naturally. The result is faster reactions, cleaner manoeuvres and better alignment about strategies.

The Charal Advantage

Skippered by the experienced Jérémie Beyou, Charal aims at speed and precision. Every second counts and Sena’s intercoms help the team with:

• Tactical clarity – Real-time dialogue during tacks and sail changes means fewer mistakes.
  
• Operational efficiency – Tasks get done quickly and smoothly, even in poor visibility or when the crew is spread out.
• Safety at sea – Instant communication during emergencies, from equipment issues to man-overboard alerts, can make all the difference.
  

Not Just for the Pros

While Charal Sailing Team competes at the highest level, the benefits of intercoms extend to sailors of all kinds. Club racers, weekend regattas and coastal rallies all demand sharp teamwork under pressure, and intercoms make it easier for crews to stay in sync.

Sena’s Nautitalk line (which includes systems like Nautitalk Active, Nautitalk Bosun and Nautitalk Crew) is built specifically for life at sea. Now, every day sailors can enjoy the same safety and performance advantages as the world’s top racing teams.

Sailing Into the Future – Connected

The days of shouting across the deck and relying on hand signals are fading. A new era of seamless, connected sailing is here, one where communication isn’t just about staying in touch, but about gaining a competitive edge.

For the Charal Sailing Team, Sena’s intercoms are more than just gear – they’re part of what keeps them ahead. They represent the future of racing: faster, safer and more connected than ever. So, is it time to unlock your competitive edge on the water?
