It was the first-ever Régate des Télécoms, and it attracted more than 150 participants. Among the companies represented were several longtime ILOG customers, including France Telecom and Cap Gemini. ILOG participated in the amateur division, running an open-class sailboat bearing the company’s new logo on its spinnaker. Its crew was shanghaied from the French telecom team, and comprised Cédric Charbonnel, Michel Delalex, David Le Douarin, Jean-Jacques Lohéac, François Meyer, Eric Raymond and Philippe Toyriont. They practiced several weekends in a row in preparation for the race, which was organized by Lucent Technologies, a leader in the communications industry.
