What is BT Team Ellen?
In September 2007, Ellen launched the BT Team Ellen project in
Paris - a three-year partnership with BT through to 2010. The
project includes the BT IMOCA 60 skippered by French skipper,
Sébastien Josse, and Nick Moloney, skipper of the BT Extreme 40.
Ellen's sailing projects include the Archipelago Raid on the BT

as well as supporting BT's CSR worldwide programme and
continuing with her commitment to pursuing and communicating how

team has now matured into a well-matched title partner
relationship.
