The Transat CIC 2020

Attention, in application of the precautionary principle in the face of the Covid 19 epidemic, the event is cancelled.

The Transat will take a new direction in 2020, with the port city of Brest in northern Brittany, confirmed as the start venue.

The Transat – single-handed ocean racing at its best. Up to 3,500 miles of open water from Europe to the USA. It is a challenge dominated by the progression of low pressure systems sweeping across the north Atlantic that produce the headwinds that define this classic race.

To start with the fastest time was in the order of 40 days. Now the world’s top solo sailors in the world’s fastest boats can make the same passage in as little as 8 days. In 2020 the race will celebrate its 60th anniversary.
