The Transat

The Transat (also known as The Transat CIC or The English Transat) is a transatlantic yacht race first held in 2004 as a spin-off for professional sailors from the Single-Handed Trans-Atlantic Race which is limited to amateurs since.

History After the 2000 event, The Royal Western Yacht Club, organizer of the Single-Handed Trans-Atlantic Race, decided to split the race into two separate events. As a result, in 2004 professional edition of the race featured a new title The Transat.

The professional event has been run as The Transat from 2004, while the race smaller boats is run as the OSTAR. Throughout its history, however, the essentials of the race have remained the same. It has also become known as a testbed for new innovations in yacht racing; many new ideas started out in "the STAR".

The Transat, 2004 The 2004 professional edition of the race featured a new title — The Transat — and a new finish, at Boston, Massachusetts. 37 boats entered, in four classes: ORMA 50 and multihulls; and IMOCA 50 and monohulls. Despite stormy conditions, all four classes of boats broke records; seven of the Open 60 monohulls broke the previous monohull record. Of the first four IMOCA Open 60's, Ecover, Pindar AlphaGraphics and Skandia (ex Kingfisher) were all designed by the British designers, Owen Clarke Design. This office also designed the first IMOCA 50, Artforms, which broke the 'Class 2' record. Several boats suffered damage, however.Records Tumble in Classic Transat Race , from the official web site Pos.SkipperBoatTimeORMA 60 Multihulls1Geant8 days 08 hours 29 m2Sodebo8 days 10 hours 38 m3Groupama8 days 14 hours 16 m4Foncia9 days 07 hours 05 m5Sergio Tacchini9 days 12 hours 36 m6Banque Populaire9 days 14 hours 05 m7TIM Progetto Italia10 days 06 hours 26 m8Sopra10 days 09 hours 28 m9Gitana XI11 days 09 hours 20 m10Banque Covefi12 days 04 hours 27 m11Mediatis Region Aquitaine13 days 07 hours 11 mRETGitana Xretired – broken centerboardIMOCA 60 Monohulls1Ecover 212 days 15 hours 18 m2Temenos (1)12 days 18 hours 22 m3Pindar Alphagraphics12 days 20 hours 54 m4Skandia13 days 09 hours 13 m5Hellomoto13 days 20 hours 24 m6Pro-Form14 days 01 hours 41 m7UUDS14 days 03 hours 58 m8VMI14 days 10 hours 02 m (corrected)9Atlantica-Charente Maritime17 days 17 hours 12 m10Austria One17 days 18 hours 35 m11Obdectif 318 days 04 hours 12 m12Quicksilver19 days 14 hours 27 mRETVirbac-Paprec (1)retired – dismastedRETPRB 2dismastedRETChemees Poudoulat Armour LuxcapsizedORMA 50 Multihulls1Trilogic14 days 01 hours 23 m2Great American II15 days 00 hours 19 m3Gify15 days 13 hours 13 m4PiR219 days 13 hours 45 mRETCrepes Whaou!retired – broke daggerboardRETNootkaretired – broken autopilotIMOCA 50 Monohulls1Artforms15 days 05 hours 20 m2Wells Fargo16 days 14 hours 21 m3Okami17 days 23 hours 17 mDNFBranec IIIover time limit
