The 2024 season of the World Diam Tour France concluded in a fantastic way during the sixth and final event, the Challenge An Avel Braz, which took place on the weekend of October 19-20.
The Andiamo team excelled, clinching victory in this final stage under remarkable conditions on Saturday, consisting of five inshore races and a coastal raid across Quiberon Bay. Competitors were unable to race on Sunday due to a marine weather warning (BMS).
This event capped off an impressive season, characterized by increasingly close competition, demonstrating once again that the Diam24od is an exceptional, high-performance sportboat that enhances sailors’ skills.
A mind filled with images and unforgettable experiences.
This season crowned the LODIGROUP team from Saint-Malo, who showed unwavering consistency to secure the top position on the podium for the 2024 World Diam Tour France. The Andiamo team, consistently fast and strategically well-placed, finished in second, while DOCART.ai, the previous year’s dominant team under the Oblige.fr name, secured third place this year.
All participants agree that this season stood out due to an extraordinarily high level of competition, with increasingly narrow gaps between teams. A total of eight crews participated throughout the year, including the all-female team “Lady Muscinteam,” who exhibited exceptional competitive spirit and total commitment throughout the circuit.

Charting the course for 2025: A season already in the works!
The Diam24od class is not slowing down, diving straight into preparations for the 2025 season. While the review of the 2024 season is still ongoing, excitement is already building for the upcoming year, with announcements of new events and fresh teams eager to participate in this thrilling competition. The 2025 season is anticipated to be emotional, filled with exciting new challenges!
The official 2025 World Diam Tour France calendar will be unveiled by year-end, promising unmissable events for all sailing enthusiasts.
The class welcomes you for 2025.
We will soon announce several dates for multi-crew training weekends out of Port-la-Forêt and Saint Philibert, complete with coaching.
These sessions will offer new crews, along with those already competing, the chance to benefit from a full season experience, commence their preparations, and form their teams.
In one-design racing, the unity of a 4-6 person crew propels progress, establishes consistency, and creates the edge needed for success.
The World Diam Tour Caribbean is already in full swing.
For the most dedicated competitors, the World Diam Tour Caribbean season has commenced! It’s the ideal opportunity to sail under the Caribbean sun, with pre-season regattas in Saint Martin attracting sailors keen for excellent conditions before the European season. Each year sees increasing participation, with over a dozen Diam24od boats expected at the CMC and Heineken Regatta.
Boats are still available for charter—contact Private Yacht Charter for details.
An international event is planned for 2026.
Exciting news for the Diam24od series: the first International Championship for the class has been announced for 2026. This event will mark a significant milestone in the class’s history, bringing together top European crews alongside competitors from around the globe. It will be a must-see event for aficionados of this remarkable boat!
And who knows—some stars from the Tour de France à la Voile era might just return, drawn by the powerful memories linked to their current accomplishments.
A growing and developing class.
Ultimately, the Diam24od class continues to expand and strengthen its organization. We are excited and proud to announce the appointment of Frédérique Pfeiffer, a well-known figure in the multihull world and within the FFV, as measurer for the Diam24od Class. Following her role in organizing the 2024 Olympics in Marseille, Frédérique is enthusiastic about joining our project and will lend her expertise and valuable experience in multihulls to the team.
A bright future for Diam24od.
The Diam24od has firmly established itself as a premier racing platform with a promising future. Production of new boats is ongoing to meet demand, as secondhand boats are scarce, with many finding homes overseas. This positive trend reaffirms the status of the Diam24od among the most sought-after and competitive classes today.
We look forward to new adventures with you in 2025—and perhaps even welcoming you to the expanding Diam24od fleet!
