La voile de tradition française est en deuil, car Patrice de Colmont, créateur de la Nioulargue, devenue les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, nous a quitté juste après la dernière Club 55 Cup.

On the downside: the sad news of Tuiga's dismasting, and significant damage to The Lady Anne during the 28 August regatta in Mahon during the XXI Copa del Rey. France also mourns the loss of François Carn, former president of the Yacht Club de France, co-founder of the AFYT, and an active member of the CIM for many years.

On the occasion of the "Voiles d'Antibes," the second leg of the CIM circuit, the CIM – Classic Yacht Trophy 2024 awards ceremony was held in Antibes on June 4, 2025, at 7:00 PM. This is the largest international championship dedicated to classic yachts, organized by the CIM – Comité International de la Méditerranée du Yachting Classique.
