The Défi Azimut - Lorient Agglomération

The Défi Azimut is an atypical event in the offshore race world. It’s the meeting between the IMOCA class which gathers together the skippers of the Vendée Globe and the Lorient-based company Azimut. It also aims to combine performance, innovation and strategy.

The events

RUNS – Crew Time
Off the Pointe du Talud

The Runs are pure timed speed races. The start will be given between the Island of Groix and the Pointe du Talud.

Depart Lorient La Base

This is the Défi Azimut’s flagship event: one 48-hour sea passage, one skipper and one OBR (on-board reporter) for the solo event, in the run-up to the Route du Rhum, and a crew accompanied by an OBR for the event that counts towards The Ocean Race, which will set sail on 15 January 2023.

The boats will complete a looped circuit in the Atlantic Ocean and you’ll be able to track their progress via the online cartography.
