Maritime tribute for sailor Charlie Dalin

Overview

Following the death of sailor Charlie Dalin on June 10, 2026, after a battle with gastrointestinal stromal tumor cancer, preparations have been made for a maritime tribute in Concarneau.

Organized according to Dalin’s wishes, the event is intended as a joyful celebration of the sea to inspire children. The planned program includes a maritime parade in the Bay of Concarneau featuring various vessel classes, such as Ultim and IMOCA, escorted by the French Navy and other maritime organizations. In a departure from tradition, the tribute will feature a ‘minute of noise’ using foghorns and sirens instead of a minute of silence.
