He has been sailing aboard his SEVENTY 7 for seven years, carving his route across the oceans with the same enthusiasm he once brought to NBA courts.
This time, Boris Diaw has decided to equip his catamaran with new Incidence sails, backed by the Lagoon network — in Tahiti and beyond.

Since launching his round-the-world voyage aboard Babac, his Lagoon SEVENTY 7, Boris Diaw has already explored some of the most breathtaking waters of the Pacific: Tahiti, Bora Bora, Tonga, Fiji… A 13-year project carried out with the same discipline and passion that defined his sporting career.
After several years of intensive sailing — six months at sea each year, often in full autonomy — the time had come to replace his catamaran's sails. He naturally turned to Incidence, guided by his dealer Sail Tahiti, to take this next step.
From Tahiti, the operation was a genuine logistical challenge: preparing and shipping the sails from France, receiving them on-site, and installing them under the best possible conditions.
Boris is no stranger to this kind of seamless support: when he sailed through the Caribbean, the Lagoon service center in Martinique had already been there to assist him.
This is the true strength of the Lagoon network: over 230 service points spread across the globe — from the Caribbean to French Polynesia, from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean — ensuring every owner can count on local support, wherever their destination may be.
In this video interview filmed in French Polynesia, Boris looks back on the reasons behind this upgrade, his first impressions at the helm with his new sails, and the support he received throughout the entire project.
