The events

48H Azimut

Start Lorient La Base


From Thursday 18 to Saturday 20 September 2025

This is the Défi Azimut’s flagship event: one 48-Hour sea passage, one skipper and one OBR (on-board reporter). During this race, skippers will sail a looped circuit in the Atlantic, and tracking beacons aboard the boats will enable the race to be followed live on the website cartography. The images sent by the OBRs will be shared by the Défi Azimut organisation so that everyone can enjoy them! An OBR competition is also on offer on the Défi Azimut’s social networks so that everyone has the chance to vote for their favourite video and photo.

RUNS – Crewed time trials

Runs - Courreaux de Groix island


Wednesday 17 September 2025

Runs are outright speed in time trials. The start will be located between Groix Island and Lorient. Each boat will have an individual start, and will be allowed several trials. The goal: to record the best time over a course spanning 1 nautical mile, generally on a reach. It is an opportunity for skippers to really push their steeds, for the public to see the boats fulfil their true speed potential, and for the onboard guests to experience the sensations of offshore racing 'in the flesh'.
