The Transat 2004 proved, in many ways, to be a classic solo east-west transatlantic race, living up to its reputation as the toughest solo North Atlantic race in the world. But what set the 12th edition of the race apart from other previous editions, was the speeds the 37 skippers covered the 2800 mile course distance. In all classes from the extreme ORMA 60 trimarans to the 50-foot monohulls, the records tumbled.
