2026: Welcome to the 16th edition!

The sweet melody of our Défi Azimut is back : The music of the Défi Azimut is back: check out the new poster designed by Mathilde Dubois, featuring a stunning photo by Jean-Louis Carli.
The 16th point on the compass rose,
the 16th note of a gentle melody
that rises into the sea-scented air,
note by note, year after year.
The Défi Azimut Lorient Agglomération is back.
Serious in its standards, lighthearted at heart.
The Lorient event where performance is reinvented:
three regattas in five days,
the race as a laboratory and a pretext for shared ambitions.
In this Breton stronghold that is Lorient,
the heart of the Bretagne Sailing Valley,
it returns, it is here: the 16th edition of the Défi Azimut.
And its new poster!
