This year, the winner of the Défi Azimut will receive a magnificent trophy made from recycled carbon fiber sourced from ocean racing.

For the 2026 edition of the Défi Azimut, the trophy awarded to the winner will embody a story rich in meaning and innovation.

Created by our partner ByKarbon, this unique trophy will be crafted from recycled composite materials sourced from ocean racing. It’s a concrete way to give carbon a second life while showcasing the expertise of the nautical industry.

Through this creation, ByKarbon combines performance, design, and the circular economy, making the 2026 Défi Azimut trophy much more than just an award: it is a symbol of an entire industry’s commitment to a more sustainable boating culture.
