Trimarans

Saturday, 28th May 2005 by Alex

Here’s a cool picture of some trimarans docked in Quebec. Perhaps they were competing in the 2004 Transat Québec Saint-Malo, which is the only crewed non-stop transatlantic race to be held from west to east (Canada to France). The race is open to vessels between 45 and 60 feet, and the 2004 winners completed their 3000 mile journey in just 7 days and 21 hours.

There’s some good ground-level shots here.
