Transat Québec-Saint-Malo

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.

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 on one third of its length.

The record has been set in 1996 by Fujicolor, skippered by Loïck Peyron in 7 days, 20 hours and 24 minutes.
