Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

About the Belgian Pneumaticlub

The club aligns with the vision of its founder, Michel de Hemptinne. He established the Belgian Pneumatic Club (BPC) in 1976.

It offers a variety of nautical activities on both inland and maritime waters.

The BPC continues to promote the versatility of pneumatic boats, which are increasingly popular with the public.

The club fosters a sense of camaraderie on the water. It allows members to join others for exciting navigations.

Members might not venture on these journeys alone.

The added safety benefits of navigating in a “flotilla” also enhance the experience.

Each year, the club organizes a diverse calendar of outings.

These trips cater to everyone’s preferences. They range from maritime to inland navigation.

Outings can be single-day or multi-day trips. They take place in Belgium or abroad. Nautical holidays and more are also on offer.

Club del Gommone European Raid at Change Relay Genoa

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

An Impressive Raid

The Club del Gommone, in partnership with Suzuki, successfully completed the Raid Europeo 2022, a 43-day adventure that began on April 27, 2022, in Fiumicino and ended in Strasbourg, the heart of Europe.

The event featured a Suzuki DF200AP Nuova Jolly Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB), which was driven by nine teams composed of Club del Gommone members.

The route included the Tyrrhenian coast, Genoa, Marseille, the Gulf of the Lion, the Canal du Midi, the Canal Lateral de la Garonne, Bordeaux, and the Bay of Biscay, covering a total distance of 2,928 miles.

The adventure aimed to spread the passion for the sea and demonstrate that even with a medium-sized pleasure craft and a standard outboard, one can travel anywhere.

The Club del Gommone, with the support of Suzuki’s technology and the spirit of adventure, successfully completed this challenging journey, drawing on their experiences from their first Raid in 2017 and the more than 13,000 miles they have covered since then.

This video was published on the Alberto Meraldi YouTube channel.
