Transat Québec–Saint-Malo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Transat Québec–Saint-Malo is a sailing transoceanic race taking place every four years, from Quebec City, Canada, to Saint-Malo, France. The first edition, in 1984, was organized to celebrate the 450th anniversary of Jacques Cartier's voyage from Saint-Malo to Quebec. The race is opened to crewed monohulls and multihulls of 40, 50 and 60 feet.

Start of the 2004 transat.

It has two particularities: It is the only west-to-east transatlantic race at this level, and it starts by going down the Saint Lawrence River for roughly 12% of its length or 376 nmi, and approximately 2,311 nmi in a straight line course from Saint Pierre Island to Saint Malo and almost 3,000 nmi when calculating for a great circle route.[2]

In 2016 a new course record of 6 days, 1 hour and 17 minutes was set by Spindrift 2 skippered by fr:Yann Guichard and Donna Bertarelli. This new time beats by almost 2 days the previous course record held by Loïck Peyron for 20 years.
