Looking back, 2024 has been year that can be metaphorically bookended by mighty Ultims and tiny Alma Globe 5.80s. This year of "an embarrassment of riches" began on Sunday, January 7 with the start of the Arkea Ultim Challenge, which saw Ultim-sized trimarans (read 105-footers) race singlehanded around the world, and it's ending with the December 28 start of the Mini Globe Race 2025, which is seeing a fleet of 19-foot Alma Globe 5.8s race singlehanded around the world.

In between, the sailing world got to enjoy the 2024 Paris Olympics, the 37th America's Cup, and the start (and most of the Southern Ocean section) of the ongoing Vendée Globe, plus a host of other high-level events.
