Trimarans

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.

    You can actually see another one Placemark: in the seaway east of this location / Google Earth.

    The 2008 edition of the race is starting soon… but the 2004 ships are no longer visible :(
