Both events have a conflict with F18 worlds 2004 in Italy (11 to 17 july 2004)!

So maybe both events should move ?

Good idea Wouter!

Since it is your idea, you might want to contact the
ORMA - Ocean Racing Multihull Association
http://www.multis-online.com/

and the
FICO - Forum Internationale de la Course Océanique
http://www.fico-sailing.org/accueil_uk.htm

to have the sanctionned Quebec St-Malo race reschedule!

Personally I am eager to be able to see these boat in real life. With luck I will be able to attend this area as a spectator or as a staff.

I think that having the NAF18 championship at the same time and at the same place as the Transat is going to be great for the sport and we will get alot of media coverage for our sport.

Last summer I was luky enough to catch two 50' boat training for the Saguenay-StPierre-Vendée

I spoke with the crew of the 50' monohull "Top-50" that won the event in the monohull class but the most interesting experience was to see the 50' tri from Hervé Cloris. It is a very fast looking boat.
